Hello Folks,
Not ranting and raving here just paying my respects.
A friend of mine passed away Saturday February 17, 2007. His name was Mike Humphreys from Lost Nation, Iowa. I just learned this from his wife Lynda.
I have only known the Humphreys' for a few months. I met them on ebay when I contacted Mike about a 1795 Half Cent that was up for bid. Great pictures and accurately described raw coin. I asked Mike if he would consider a reasonable offer for this coin should it not sell.
He reponded that would be fine. Never did buy the coin but we became good friends. Mike was a VERY knowledgeable numismatist. The hell with that phrase a BONA FIDE coin collector and dealer!
I never met Mike in person but we had some great phone conversations. Not only did Mike know his coins but he was one HECK of a character. MAN we had some great conversations! People like this do not come along often.
We'll miss you Mike. You're "old school" in our hearts and minds. We're making a comeback.
My condolences to Lynda (with a Y) and family.
Mike will truly be missed.
