David Lawrence remembered

DIMEMAN

Some of you probably already know that David Lawrence passed away last month. I just read it in my latest Coin World.

I don't know how many of you knew him personnaly, but he was one of the great dealers to deal with. He got me started on Barber coins back around 1980 and his table was the first place I would head at all the big shows. He would always bend over backwards to find the coins you might be interested in and work with you on buying them.

David also wrote the books on Barbers and the journals for the Barber Club in it's early years.

I asked him once when he was going to write the second book on Barber Dimes, because of all the new varieties since the first book. His reply was you write it, your the one who has most if not all the varieties
known.

He will be greatly missed by the whole collecting hobby.

My heart goes out to all his family and friends.

Sincerely,

Jon Potts

Yes David F. was a gentleman. Even though I bought relatively few coins from him he always was willing to spend time with me and others going back to the early 80's. I had not seen him much in the last 7 plus years but had heard of his illness.

My sympathies as well to his family.
