Rick Snow is in the Hospital

in U.S. Coin Forum

He is in a Tucson Hospital with 2nd and 3rd degree burns from a grease fire that got out of control in his home while he was cooking something. He will miss the Long Beach show. My prayers are with him for a full and speedy recovery.

    I have spoken to Rick and even though I only bought a book from him, he was one of the nicest dealers I'ved met. He was kind to my family and myself. He showed us some of the special coins he had in stock and my kids loved it. I hope that Rick can read this thread very soon from the comfort of his own house and that he rapidly feels better and gets better.
