EDWIN LEVENTHAL (1930-2020)Charlie Davis writes: "Miles Coggan called to tell me that Ed Leventhal passed away two weeks ago in Florida. Ed was better known as "J. J. Teaparty," the last of the Bromfield St coin dealers in Boston. Some 10-12 years ago, Ed sold the business to Miles and Liz Coggan and retired. Ed was a gentleman who during my early years in the coin business gave me more respect than I probably deserved. I have very fond memories of our dealings."
