    Sorry to hear it. May his soul Rest In Peace.

    His passion for making numismatic videos will not easily be replaced.

    A man who expanded a niche into a well-respected part of the hobby that ended up leaving a tribute to his forethought and expertise.

    A life well-lived. We will miss him . . . .

    Oh wow, I am sad to hear this. I've talked to him a few times over the years at Long Beach and he was always a gentleman. I also enjoyed his youtube videos he did at various shows across the country. This sucks..

    What did he pass away from?

  • WalkerfanWalkerfan Posts: 9,466 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I'm a little shocked and very saddened.

    I loved watching his videos.

    Thanks for the hours of enjoyment and great information.

    RIP David.... :'(

    Very sad news. My wife just purchased items from him at the WFOM show in August, and I also very much enjoyed watching his videos on youtube. RIP.

    Met him the first time over 20 years ago. He's always been one of the friendliest most approachable people I've ever met.
    And oh man his depth of coin knowledge and memory was nothing short of exceptional.

    Got to actually chat with him again at two shows here in Colorado during the last year.
    At the Denver Coin Expo earlier this year I got to see some of HIS cool coins at his booth. My friend bought some beautiful jewelry from his wife that day too.

    I'll miss running into him regularly <3
    Condolences

    This saddens me greatly! I’ve never met him, but I’ve watched NUMEROUS videos of his on YouTube. This is really awful news! :(

    So sorry to hear the news ..... worked with him several times to make videos of guest speakers at the USRGCC.

    He was always pleasant, fun to chat with and a professional. He will be missed.

    This is sad and shocking to hear. He taped a number of my presentations, including one that had almost no audience about early half dimes at an EAC convention.

  • LukeMarshallLukeMarshall Posts: 1,989 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Rest in Peace, I ran across his videos on youtube a few years ago and instantly subscribed. Loved his details about the shows, and the highlights on young numismatists. A big loss for the coin videography segment of the hobby...

    It's all about what the people want...

    I managed to find his video of your 2010 presentation in the "David Lisot Video Library' (already mentioned by @MrEureka) at the Newman Numismatic Portal:
    https://nnp.wustl.edu/library/book/548901
    I enjoyed watching this - nice job by you and David, plus the NNP for making it available.

    I'll admit - about halfway through, I started thinking - "I don't think Bill Jones has an 1802...". So many of the other coins you showed are really great, though. I've seen some of them here on the forum from time to time.

    So very sad!

    I really appreciated @MrEureka posting David's video archives. I didn't even know that this existed. I spent two hours watching Long Beach Expo footage from 2005. It was such a treat to hear David Hall, QDB, Art Kagin, and other greats speak about their early experiences in the rare coin market. David's work was sooo valuable to posterity. I truly enjoyed that! Thank You!!
