Ed Reiter, longtime Executive Editor of COINage Magazine, has passed away at age 79. The cause of death was listed as multiple organ failure. He had diabetes and had been in poor health for several years.
I have had the honor of working with him since 1991 as a contributor to COINage. A nice guy with a great sense of humor.

Sorry to hear of this. Among all of the general collector magazines, I think that COINage is the most enjoyable.
Sorry to hear that, and Coinage was one of my first introductions to the hobby.
Also sorry to here that.

Also bought a copy last October.
Rest in peace, Ed.

Sorry to hear that as well. condolences to all those involved.
He left quite a legacy with COINage magazine as it has been the best in the business for many years now.
I'm so sorry to see his passing. RIP
And in no small part thanks to the contributions of Tom DeLorey.
Had the absolute pleasure of knowing Ed for over 32 years. I first met him at the 1985 GSNA Convention in Cherry Hill, NJ right after my freshman year of college. He also got me to join the NLG in 1991.
Our family extends their sincerest condolences to Ed's family, non-numismatic and numismatic.
Sad news. He challenged his illness every day and focused on his work and interests. A fine contributor to the core of knowledge that benefit all.
RIP
sad news, seemed to be a nice guy

Great publication. Sorry to hear of the loss of another prominent coin guy.
Sorry to here this. Nice guy.
His magazine is top notch. Good paper, slick images, everything a collector is attracted to. He did it right, and I personally liked the coin prices listings.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......
Sad news. My condolences. My subscription to COINAGE started in 1971, still going strong.
Very sad, my condolences to the family. I like Coinage magazine... Cheers, RickO
Sad news indeed. I always enjoy reading Coinage magazine especially those articles written by some guy named Tom DeLorey.
