My friend Carl Wohlforth

MICHAELDIXON

It has been a year since Carl passed away. Carl was a great individual, dealer and friend. Yesterday I was going through one of my desk drawers and found an invoice from Carl. It was for a beautiful Hudson commemorative that I have since sold. Carl is no longer with us on the Coin Universe™ Message Boards, but he is not forgotten.

In honor of Carl who loved cameos from this era...

Carl was a wonderful guy to hang out with. Always fun tower with him and talk coins. He loved his Cameo Jeffersons. Post pics of them on his honor.

I miss Carl too. He was a good guy.

A year ago, the 3rd of this month. I miss Carl, too.

He was a wonderful person, husband, and father.

He is in good hands, methinks.

magikbilly

Yes indeed, a great guy. Carl kindly gave me much valued advice, expressed in the best ways, when I was collecting Proof dimes and Walkers. I remember him telling me my icon was preferable to the 92-Cam I had - I needed that advice. He essentially told me how I would feel about the coin before it even arrived. He once showed me a scan of a Pr Walker with a near totally frosted sun. I remember he appreciated a very colorfully toned Pr Jeff from '41 or so - the board called it ugly and coffee stained - he sent a PM that set me straight. The amount of knowledge he shared so freely - it does live on.

I too miss Carl

It was always a pleasure dealing with Carl. He is truly missed!

I picked this one up from Carl roughly seven years ago and still have it in my collection.

I have been on this board for a LONG time
It's a shame that so many or our member have passed on.
So many great people that are remembered here.
It's an honor to be remembered by others and here we do just that!

So sad....

Do you realize it's been 8 years since we lost Frank...the pug? Time goes by so fast.

ricko

Time and members pass.....that is the sad part. The good part is the memories we forum members have of those people....and Carl left many of us with really good memories. Cheers, RickO

I enjoyed Carl's posts and remember him fondly, he was knowledgable, helpful, and kind and really, really loved the coins.
Carl is among many we've lost over the years on this forum, maybe it should be our goal when we post that once we're gone, we're missed as much

Nice guy who had patience with a new collector when I started and answered all my questions!!!

Cameonut

I miss Carl as well. We shared a passion for deep cameo nickels. I'll always remember his excitement when I made a 1953 nickel in 67dcam - I think he might have been more excited than I was!

I miss Carl who was one of many "treasured assets" of this and other forums.

AUandAG

Only had a couple of interactions with Carl.....but they were great.

Much too young.

My first and unfortunately last purchase from Carl - I received on Sept 1, 2012 - was going to mention him in another thread on members we lost, but more appropriate to leave it here. These remain two of my favorites!

DHeath

I miss talking to Carl and Frank. They were good hobby friends and nice people.

So, did you pay his estate for the invoice?

thebeav

I never had any dealings with him or even met him, but I remember his posts. Never a harsh word, always a gentleman.

lordmarcovan

I was just thinking of Carl tonight. Doesn't seem like two years he's been gone.

mrearlygold

A good guy

coindudeonebay

Carl was a very pleasant and easy to work with guy. I had a couple of dealings with him and I couldn't have been more pleased.

ponderit

I've been going through old invoices trying to organize my inventory as best as I can. I came across an invoice from Carl dated May 14th 2011 for a very nice Buff Nick that I still own. He was always such a nice guy...

We have a such a great group of people in this hobby, thank you all...

It does not seem that it is over 10 years since Carl passed away.

I always enjoyed interacting with him (both on hobby matters and matters outside of the hobby).

Thanks. I use to know a carl on the forums yrs ago. He even sent me a bust half one year, just because. His user name was carl123. Haven't heard from him in years.

SanctionII

His username was his name; CarlWohlforth.

Goober

I still have an 85-O MS65DMPL I bought from him, gosh 19 years ago now. Even when I lost my job in '09 that is the one coin I told my self I would never part with, and it is still with me today.

VicPortland

Carl was a great coin collecting friend. I still have an 1858 LL Flying Eagle cent (PCGS MS64) and an original 1907 Proof set that I purchased from him and that I intent to pass on to my heirs. A true gentleman. He is missed.

Tramp

What a great group of friends Carl had!

liefgold

There is only one coin that I no longer own that I wish I could have back, and it came from Carl. He was a gentleman.

VicPortland

Carl sold that 1880 dollar for me! It was a nice coin.

WAYNEAS

It is truly humbling to see those here that pay tribute to a person over 10+ years gone.
It feels like actors who have passed on but live on every time you see them in a movie or show.
Here it is not a movie but a coin.
To life remembrance eternal.

Carl was planning on coming to Maryland and visiting the coin shops with me. It saddened me and still does. Carl was a wonderful person and friend!

Swampboy

Carl was a wonderful guy. A gent.
I bought quite a few coins from him and he was always so professional.
I do miss him.

I went to the WayBackMachine.com, looked at his site and downloaded his picture.
