Really, The only Izzy I know is a woman (short for Isabelle) and she could probably get into Playboy just by walking in the front door and they would "stop the press right now" !
It would be cool f his granddaughter would join the boards. We could get more than court dockets, summary judgements, continuations and appeals. In the court of public opinion, it's my belief he looked and acted much more like Cary Grant and went to bed with a super hero costume in the closet.

Yes, according to the book, Illegal Tend Gold, Greed, and the Mystery of the Lost 1933 Double Eagle by David Tripp, this is a picture of Izzy.
Izzy was a little before my time as a young collector, but I met his type when I went to Philadelphia with my father. In those days he went to the city from southern Delaware to buy auto parts for his business. He would turn me loose in the city, and I would go to the various coin shops to add to my collection. Most of dealers treated me with respect; one even offered me a job; but a few them acted like junkyard dogs. If you went into their store, the reception was sometimes beyond frosty if you looked a kid with very little money to spend. Yes, I was a kid, but I did have some money to spend. From what I've read Izzy was in the junkyard dog category.

I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

Yeah, like in the walls of that shop??? I'd love to do a "full-on" demolition inside that place!
