IPOTAD !!!
(Who remembers what that means?)
A lot of members won’t have any idea who Russ was or what you’re taking about.

Agreed, been a while since I thought about Russ (NCNE). May he RIP!
I won this Trade dollar from Russ' ebay account soon after he passed. I remember his friend was finalizing all of his ebay auctions and doing shipping for him. That was the very end of October 2016.
He was definitely a character!
He'd probably be banned if he was around now 😆
The knowledge he gave on AH Kennedys put a lot of money in my pocket.. Great guy.
Russ was certainly a character, as well as a stand-up guy. He was extremely generous with his time in helping others - myself included. I had immense respect for him.
I don’t think he would be banned if he were here with us these days. He seemed to have a very good grasp of staying within the rules.
As for your Trade dollar - it looks far more attractive and original than the great majority that are out there!

‘Fresh meat!’
I knew who you were talking about. 😉
He contributed a lot of knowledge regarding Kennedy half dollars to these boards.
I didn’t have a lot of personal interaction with him. He passed about two years after I joined here. His posts were very informative, though.
No, I never had a slab caddy like that.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

Really miss Russ here on the coin forum.
I still have my slab caddy - someplace.
He and I were always on the lookout for the 1967 "Birthmark" Kennedys.
This is one of his.

Russ was great

Of course I remember Russ. I tried to find some of his postings, but no dice. They must have deleted his account. He was one of the greats.
He wasn't deleted. The search feature here is not always intuitive to use.

You are not typing in his name repetitiously enough.

Russ never sleeps. Russ Russ Russ..
Thanks, Tom
Russ was an excellent coin photographer. He also had a way of writing more with less than just about anyone that has participated here.
It is hard to believe he has been gone going on 10 years.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
I remember when Russ had to “edit” his avatar to be more family friendly.
I never ran into him at a local show and still regret that I didn’t ever stop in his computer shop—out of the way but not that far from me—when I had the chance 😔. He was always friendly… definitely one of the good guys.
I think I may still have my slab caddy put away somewhere. Anyone remember his toned 82-O gem Morgan that he claimed to pick up raw at a flea market for a song that became 65 at PCGS? His "flea market morgan" as he referred to it in some threads here. I bought it from him and then sold it later on flea bay
Hail the gift of memory in this fifty-second state. Who sold me down the river and shafts me while he waits. Outside the gates of Eden, star spangled and so late.

I have an AH Kennedy that I got from him in my 7070.
What was the NCNE one?
