    RIP

    God comes first in everything I do. I’m dedicated to serving Him with my whole life. Coin collecting is just a hobby—but even in that, I seek to honor Him. ✝️

    This is so sad. I worked with, spoke to and shared coins with the Stepanski's for many years (going back to the mid-1990s, if I recall correctly). They were always a joy. RIP.

    From Long Beach to Philadelphia over the past several decades I always made sure to stop by the Dart table and spend a few minutes with father and son. We didn't do a lot of business but that wasn't the point -- it is always sad to lose good people. RIP.

    My condolences to Tommy and the family.. Two great guys, Dad was a fixture at the Parsippany show for many years and always had a story to share. I always thought of him as a dealer you'd be happy to call a friend.

    I am very sorry to hear this. I had not seen them in recent years.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    Ahhh Tom Jr and his dad have always been what I would say are dear coin dealer friends.

    I loved over the years speaking with “Dad” always great stories and always kind words in his unique gruff sounding voice.

    Tonight I’ll reflect all those great memories and leave any sadness behind.

    We’ve lost a good one but somewhere out there Tom Sr is still looking down upon us.
    and Tom Jr will carry his legacy

    Love and prayers….

    Tom Sr and I connected wonderfully over the years. RIP. Tom Jr advised me his Dad would not be around much longer.
