Bill was a great guy. He always loved a good discussion here about coins, especially moderns. Although I never had the chance to meet him in person, we did myriad deals together and he was always a man of his word and a great trading partner. RIP Bill.

I remember him being quite passionate about modern coins. I figured him to be much younger, too. RIP

Sorry to hear. I recall him posting and then nothing, but I didn't know if he just moved on or what. This news is very sad. Nice guy, and I recall his avatar and instantly knew his threads...and always read them. I enjoyed reading his posts.

Mitch....thank you for bringing this news to us, sad as it is. Whether it is 1 day later or 1 year later, if no one has the news, it is good when someone does bring it.

That's too bad, yes, too young.....
He was granted hundreds of patents ! I can really appreciate when someone knows their industry so well that they can make improvements like that.

I don't know if it is possible but...

When one of our dealers/collectors passes away, an image would really be nice. I hate to confess that the name rings a bell but I cannot put a face with it.
