Some of you - especially the Lincoln cent collectors here may remember ziggy posting in various coin forums, including this one. Sadly, he has had a bout with cancer, but happily he has had a transplant and is recovering. He and his family are in need of some financial assistance, and are reaching out for help. I am assisting in their cause, because Ziggy is a friend, and is the only collector in the family, and they don't know all the places he graced with his kindness.
Something that may help trigger the memory of him to some folks is that he discovered the first known example of a very strong 1982 cent doubled die reverse featured in a Coin World article shortly after its discover, and it basically turned the Lincoln cent die variety world up-side down. He made a major find that has since not been paralleled in my mind.
Here is a link to his family's GoFundMe donation page. As a disclaimer, I am gaining nothing out of this financially - just the satisfaction of knowing that I have helped spread the word about ziggy to the coiners out there. Every dollar possible will help.
Thank you for your time!

ziggy is a good guy!
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
