RIP. Condolences to family and friends.
OMG so sad as he was only in his early 50's right?
Thanks for the update. Sad news and my condolences to the family.
It is a good reminder to enjoy life (and our coins) for the little time we have.

Sad news for sure.
I wish healing & peace to his family and friends.
R.I.P. ...we have lost a Numismatic Legend!
Wow! I was not prepared opening this up to see this news! He went WAY too soon! Sincere condolences to the family for their loss!
RIP
Very sad.

Wow. That’s a blow, to the entire hobby. Never had the privilege of knowing him, but what a tremendous loss.
Wow. RIP.
My condolences to the family.
A person such as he will certainly be missed.
I knew the name but unfortunately not the man. I see he had a stereo microscope on his desk also.
I just looked him up on Google. From the Metalswired site:
Here are five lessons you can learn from Brent Pogue’s interview:
◾You’re never too young to start coin collecting. Brent was just nine years old!
◾Know your history. By understanding the story behind each coin, you begin to understand what’s valuable.
◾Take risks! Just make sure your risk-taking doesn’t bust your piggy bank.
◾Know that sometimes you lose, sometimes you win. For example, you may think a coin will grow in value over time only to find it’s not as valuable as you were hoping. Other times, though, your investment in a coin can prove a good choice.
◾Patience pays off. Brent Pogue didn’t gain his world famous collection overnight. As a collector, you’ll need lots of patience.
Sad news! RIP
I'm sorry to hear this.

I'm so sorry to hear about his passing at such a young age. I always greatly enjoyed hi show and tells of his coins at shows. His excitement about coins was infectious. My heart felt condolences to all his family and friends.

Sorry to hear that. He will be missed.
PCGS would like to extend its deepest condolences to the family and friends of one of the numismatic community's greatest collectors of all time, D. Brent Pogue. Pogue started collecting at the age of 9 and by the time he was 50, had amassed over 650 coins representing the finest collection of early Federal coinage ever assembled.
The collection was auctioned by Stacks-Bowers in five sales from 2015 through 2017 and set numerous records for the highest auction prices realized. Among the innumerable highlights of his landmark collection were a Class 1 1804 Dollar (PCGS PR-65), one of the finest-known 1794 Dollars (PCGS MS-66+), a 1795 Eagle (13 leaves, PCGS MS-66+) and the finest-known 1808 Quarter Eagle (PCGS MS-65). Just these four coins alone brought in excess of $13 million.
A true numismatic giant, he will be sorely missed.

Sad news indeed.
My condolences to his family and friends.

I am guessing he was ill? Possibly why he sold off his collection in what could be described as the prime of one's life. So sad to lose such a valuable member of the numismatic world.
My condolences to his family and friends.
Sorry to hear this. I didn't know him, but he had a hell of an eye for nice coins.
I was lucky enough to have owned a single coin that he chose to keep in his collection. @boiler78 drove up to the U.P. of Michigan way back in the day to look at this coin for me and @ColonelJessup . Remember the Flood deal Mark? Coin was killer then and is just as nice now. In an OGH at time of purchase....
Posted for fond memories and hopefully to make B.P. smile, although I imagine that coins matter less as one achieves celestial status...:)

Wow! What a loss to coin collectors everywhere.
My prayers for his family.

Shocked and saddened......much too young.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

Sorry to hear this, condolences to those who knew him.
Very sad news. I remember meeting him at the first Pogue auction at Sotheby’s.
Nice guy, and a true Legend. He will definitely be missed.
Rest In Peace Brent.
Rest In Peace.

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......
Sorry to hear, condolences.
That's a shame. Condolences to all who knew him. Waaay yo young, what's the story?

Too young to pass .... what a heavenly unfair path. Hope he is rest in peace
Never met him, but definitely knew the name and his influence on coin collecting. Another one taken away far too soon...

Brett Pogue was respected and admired by all in the numismatic community. His passing comes as a shock and surprise to most all of us this forum. Many of us expected he would still be involved in collecting, if not coins, then a new venture. He created a collection of dreams that he shared with us through his auctions. Many of us did not comprehend the extent of his collection until it went to sale. Sooooo many pristine rarities that now had a new provenance. So sad to lose him as a beloved member of our society.
My condolences to his family, and their knowing his legacy will continue to live on.

Condolences to the family... RickO
I very much admired his passion for coins and everything he did for our hobby. RIP.
