I just heard that Guy Clark passed away this week. I bought some of my first ancient coins from Guy. In 1995, I had a subscription to the Celator and saw an ad for an assortment of 10 Late Roman bronze coins for $50. Those were my first LRB's and they really got me interested in the hobby. I could not believe that the coins were in such good shape for being so old and still only cost $5 each.
I had heard he was fighting an illness. I don't know how old he was. My generation is the next to pass. Makes me wonder who owned my coins 100 plus years ago. Were they in a collector's drawer or still in the ground? I can only guess how many collectors will own one of my coins after I'm gone. In case a future owner cares, I've tried to keep good records on the flips of when and from whom I bought a coin.
