26 February 1916 - 26 October 2020. More details as I learn them. Descanse en paz, amigo.
Post a coin in his memory, if you wish.

I heard earlier. May he rest in peace. Sad news indeed.
He was a true legend and numismatist
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
Sad news indeed.
Here's a pair of Colombian 8 Reales from Santa Fe de Nuevo Reino (Bogotá) mint from a hoard discovered by Clyde Hubbard in Medellín in the 1950s and subsequently published by Robert I. Nesmith in "A Hoard of the First Silver Coins of Nuevo Reino de Granada (Colombia)" in 1958. First one is coin #7, illustrated on plate XXXI and in a line drawing on p. 525. and the second one is coin #3c, illustrated on plate XXIX and in a line drawing on p. 517.
May we all aspire to live to 104 years old.
