Saw this in the US coin forum.

MacCrimmon died suddenly on July 1, 2024 and he will be bagpiped out in style on July 11, 2024.

I'm at a lost for words. A true forum friend and a staple of the Darkside.

    I’m so sorry to hear this

    He was a passionate collector and had a great eye for coins.

    I met him several times …always enjoyed our discussions.

    RIP Mac
