Greetings LM. I've read several of your threads since my return. It's been over a year since I started posting again. I just don't post that often anymore.
Brent, I found this sentence in the article relevant - "Bernhard Beheim was buried in Hall. His tomb should be a memento mori to all coin friends: no matter what big a feat you do for numismatics, one day you will be lying, too, forgotten and disregarded like Bernhard Beheim, creator of the taler."
