Long Run Over

Due to recent onset of severe medical conditions I'm no longer collecting.
I only have the option to dispose of my my collection, mostly minors dating 1700+.
I'm a collector by country, denomination, date so have quite a few linear series in the regard.
If similar collectors are looking to fill holes I may likely be of help. Any other requests welcome as well.
Some special pieces and sets will eventually go on Ebay.
If anyone wants to make a full offer on the whole 16,000 piece collection that's fine too although there will be another too.
I've got al the coins organized and on Excel.

Also, If anyone is confused or put of by the lists of coins I had to offer that I left the pricing off of them it is because I have not updated those in years. I would at least have to recheck those and see what I paid for them to be able to feel like I'm giving another collector a good deal and not just selling like a dealer or at high spot. Believe me I want to enjoy I want to see someone that enjoys collecting, enjoy collecting!

We'll all be hoping and praying that things go well for you Brad.
I would be remiss not to acknowledge that what little I know about attributing world coins stems from what I learned from you.
So sorry to hear about your health issues Brad but wishing you all the best.
borrowed time as well and expect to be passing on my "stuff" to the grand kids before very many
more ticks of the clock as you seem to be doing here and I wish you the best.
No real regrets though. It's been a great run
It's just that I got my PCGS grades.

My prayers go out to you. I have noticed your decreased participation lately, and had often wondered how you were doing. I fondly remember back in the day when we seemed to have an on-going challenge to be the quickest to whip out the old Krause and get an ID posted.
PM sent, as well.

Brad, I'm really sorry to hear of your health issues and will be praying for your return to perfect health and happiness. Take care, buddy!!

I've had a colectomy, am on chemo therapy for stage4 liver cancer, which has been lost me about 30 pounds and looking like skin and bones with about that much energy. Outta work and on short term disability gives me much time to enjoy the World Cup, the ceiling and every commercial ever made though.
I do concentrate on answering questions on AllExperts.com as best as I can though.
I'm in slow motion, no appetite, and can't go out in the sun but I'm still hangin' in there. October is the next evaluation.
Anyway, still hangin',

Very sorry to hear the full story. All the best with the recovery, and I hope the sale of the collection provides some fun moments. A 16,000 piece collection is an extraordinary accomplishment.

I have not been around much of late and had no idea that you were sick, I am very sorry to hear it. I joined the forums just a short time after you did back in 2001, so anytime I think of these forums and the fun we all used to have here, well you were always a big part of that. I also think of you as the guy who would have coin IDs posted in response to questions before any of the rest of us could figure out where we left the Krause books. In fact I can remember thinking "this guy must have Krause commited to memory."
You will be in my thoughts and prayers my friend!

Anyway, I truly appreciate everyone's good wishes and prayers! I'm off chemo cause they say its not workin' but right now. I'm holdin' my own, mostly restin' horizontal but tryin' to get other things slowly done.
My website is mostly down because my ISP jerked my 25 megs of space down to 10 which eliminated most of the pics. I'd hate for all that info to be history so if anyone wants me to send it to them so they can put on their site thats fine with me.

I've put the hobby (and the Internet) on a back burner myself, lately- this is my first visit to the forums in over two months- and I'm downsizing considerably, having sold off one of my display cases at the antique mall. It's lost some of its luster for me, I guess, and I've thought of quitting. But I'm not quite ready to hang my hat up altogether.
Here's hopin' you stay as well as possible, and as happy as possible under your difficult circumstances.
Here's hoping that your physical condition improves or stabilizes!!
In the meantime, do live each day to the fullest!

Brad was a man who lived to help others with coins, he bought, sold and loved the hobby. "
I am very sorry to hear about Brad passing. Although I didn't know him personally I had spoken to him several times on Collectors universe forums.
He was a true gent who went out of his way to help others with the hobby.
Although I knew he was suffering from cancer and unwell this news still has came as a shock to me.
My thoughts and prayers are with him, his family and friends.
