His wife Patricia worked by his side for 30 years building a legacy that will last for decades. Larry had a passion for coins and jewelry and his passion lead him down many roads. He was a lifetime member of the Prestigious ANA, member of Professional Numismatic Guild, Florida United Numismatic, Numismatic Guaranty Corp, and Professional Coin Grading Service. Larry was also nominated for the Harry J. Forman Numismatic dealer of the year award by the American Numismatic Association in 2018. To read the complete article, see: Jeff Garrett writes: "I have known Larry Lee since the late 1970's. Larry became one of the dominant coin dealers in the state of Florida. Over the years he was able to develop his business which was primarily bullion, into one of the nation's largest rare coin dealerships. Larry was an astute business man with a passion for life. He traveled the world extensively, and always understood that life was short. Over the years we did untold millions of business together. In the 1980's I sold him a deal of over 200,000 circulated Morgan silver dollars. In 2013 we purchased the fabled 1913 Liberty Nickel together. "Larry was always fair and a man of his word. The only people who ever had an issue with Larry, were the ones that did not keep there word with him. He greatly valued honesty and it was the basis of his business and life. "I greatly miss his words of wisdom." David Lisot passed along this 2013 video. -Editor 
David writes: "I interviewed him at the Summer FUN Convention just after he had purchased the 1913 Nickel. He was a great guy and numismatist. Sorry for his passing."
