NUMISMATIC MYSTERY ANSWER: EFREM ZIMBALIST III

Last week Pete Smith presented this quiz for our readers: "Who is the man pictured on the right and what is his role in current numismatics?" -Editor

Numismatic Mystery 2020-02-02 Efrem Zimbalist III

ANA Edition reader Robert Luton writes:

The images show Efrem Zimbalist Jr playing Lewis Erskine of the FBI and his son Efrem Zimbalist III, who founded Active Interest Media in 2003 and last year acquired several collectibles magazines including Coins.

Rex Stark of Gardner, Massachusetts writes:

The man on the left is the famous actor Efrem Zimbalist, Jr, shown in his tremendously popular television series The FBI (1965-1974). The man on the right is his son Efrem Zimbalist III, founder of Active Interest Media. The company is a major mover in marketing services, PR campaigns, trade shows and magazine publishing. They purchased a number of previous Krause titles in the bankruptcy of F+W Publications, including Numismatic News.

Mr. Zimbalist is no longer at the head of AIM - the current CEO is Andy Clurman. He founded the company with Zimbalist in 2003, taking the helm in 2015.

Pete Smith adds:

Zimbalist is the contemporary equivalent to Chester Krause, although much less well known in numismatics. There is an interesting parallel in their interests. Chester Krause ran old car shows in Iola, Wisconsin. Efrem Zimbalist III runs boat shows in Miami, Palm Beach, and Fort Lauderdale.

Thanks, everyone - great quiz. -Editor
