Rynearson's book on Byzantine coins was published in 1967 and his book on Greek coins was published in 2009. This suggests we should expect to see his book on Roman coins to be published around 2051.

At the dealership where I used to work, I would answer the phone only if one of three salespeople were unavailable. One day I answered to find Rynearson on the other end of the line. I became his contact person at the firm and we made a number of deals while I worked there.

I was pleased to meat Paul at a Long Beach show about five years ago. I expected him to be a "really old guy". I was surprised to discover that he is about my age. I guess that says something I don't want to admit about myself.
