I have been a friend of IraS4 for over 15 years, and he has supported me in tough times with his generosity and guidance. Recently Ira hit a very rough patch with respect to his health, and is currently hospitalized. I'm confident that your support and words of encouragement would be most appreciated by Ira. You can PM him here or email direct, as I believe he is still monitoring his internet connections. Please limit your contact to PM's or emails. Phone calls would be very disruptive at this time.

    I wish him the best. I've bought a few coins from him over the past 6-7 years and he has been more than fair in dealings.
    He's a good guy and knowledgeable as well.

    Here's wishing him better health!

    Ira Stein is really one of the very good guys. His eye for quality is up there with the best. His ethics in business and dedication to numismatics are worthy of the highest recognition and I hope that happens sooner than later.

    Ira, you're in my thoughts and prayers for your swift and complete recovery.

    I didn't know Ira was ill. I just wrote to him.

    Ira has sold me dozens of coins over the years. Everything from $10 Lincoln Memorials to $8500 gems. He is a pleasure to deal with...a true gentleman. I sure hope he's okay.

    Here are just a few "Ira purchases". You think he has a good eye?

    My very best wishes for a speedy recovery, Ira, and hope that you are able to continue your numismatic business, if you wish. Happy New Year.

    I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.
