What a terrific guy.
We spent a bit over an hour at a Long Beach coin show many years ago.
I recall two events with him.
First, the opportunity to view is monster toned Morgan collection- all housed in Capital Plastics holders, as he thought the presentation was better for showing and displaying his coins rather than PCGS or NGC slabs. What a collection is was! Such magnificent coins to then go out on the convention floor afterward was a bit disappointing. It would be akin to enjoying a tasting menu at the finest steakhouse to then go preview the goods and wares of Sizzler. I am exaggerating a bit, but you get what I mean.
Second, he was such a splendid gentleman to my wife. Involving her in conversation and including her in the discussion- even though Elizabeth has very little interest in coins- she still recalls that meeting with him and what a true gentleman he was.
There are true giants within this hobby and GSAguy was one of them.
He is sorely missed.

I had a similar experience with Bryan. His coins were absolutely spectacular. And yet, I was even more impressed with him. He was so enthusiastic and animated, with an infectious smile. Few people affect me the way Brian did and I was deeply saddened when I heard he’d died.

As did I. I bought a Redfield Morgan from him once and he jokingly went on about how he was mad that he sold it too cheap. It was pretty funny. Great guy and I was very sad to hear of his passing although I don't think I'd seen him at LB for quite some time.
I have sent @ifthevamzarockin some messages and have received no answer. I posted here regarding his absence last month and only had one response. Surely someone knows his email or phone number. Please.

He was far more active in the Precious Metals Forum. He always called silver "gutter" which was very strange.

Yes, he had a lot of great posts, but he also liked to stir the pot at times. Some of the missing members took the bait that he'd sometimes throw out there, and ended up getting banned.
BTW, there is a new error guy who has occassionslly posted, and I suspected it might be him. The new ID doesn't post often - I assumed it's because if it's him and he says you much he'll reveal himself. 😀
