Being new to the
field of Elymaean coinage, I never
had the pleasure of interacting directly with him, although he did comment on one of my coins via RobertL3, who contacted him directly. I was saddened by the news, just as I am every time that I learn that a rock
star that I once revered has died. I could/would not have ventured into the
field of Elymaean coinage but for
his excellent book, and imagine that numismatists will remain in
his debt for generations. Thank you, Pieter Anne
van't Haaff, for your contributions to numismatic scholarship and to our enjoyment of our hobby. Stkp
