Just a Canadian lurker here, but a friend of Steve’s. Steve had a rough go with cancer and a few other health scares a few years ago. He retired from his Manitoba job and is hanging his hat in Kamloops, BC.
Steve sold his ancient coin collection, all consigned through a dealer, who did sell them as “ex-stevex6” pedigree. As far as I know, Steve stopped collecting coins, but has hung onto his Canadian 25c collection, his error coins, and his paper money collection.
He is enjoying retired life, and still cheering hard for the Vancouver Canucks. I am sure he’d be proud to hear of you guys still remembering his enthusiasm with ancient coins.
Best of luck with your new forum.
