It's Fred Weinberg (on the right) from the 1970's in a recent issue of Coin World.
Looks like a guy from the movie "Superfly."

    I met Fred at the Error-A-Rama show in Anaheim in 1973. That's what he looked like. Also, (Fred, close your ears) the babe on his arms back then was a DMPL 70+!

    Who's the boss looking guy on the left? I'll bet he was a riot at the Pink Floyd concerts.

    Hi Guys -

    Thanks for the nice words.

    1. The guy on the right is Arnie Margolis.

    2. The photo was taken in 1973 when we both went
    to the West Point Depository (way before it was a Mint!)
    invited by the GSA, to view the errors on the Carson City
    Dollars. (they were having a hard time selling them for
    about $15 each, and needed the publicity).

    3. The girl with me at that Anaheim show was probably my
    first ex-wife. (we got married in 1974).

    4. There's another photo of Al Pacino, from the Serpico movie,
    that looks even more like me! (I had it years ago, can't find
    it, and have been looking for it on the internet ever since!)

    5. As many of you have heard me say at Coin Shows - I haven't
    aged, it's just that the Polarity of the Earth changed a few
    years ago - that's why I'm Thicker in the middle, and Thinner
    on the top now.

    You should have learned by now... just like with coins... looks aren't everything... they might help... but they are not all that matters in the long run... image
    Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free image
