Numismatic bookseller extraordinaire, an accomplished researcher and one of the finest gentlemen I.ve known. The loss of his knowledge and expertise leaves a vacuum. I am glad to have known him, and called him a friend. J.P.

RIP
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
Very well known and with a great reputation. RIP, George.
In honor of the memory of Cpl. Michael E. Thompson
