Volume Title

No details have come to us yet, largely as George and his wife had no family, but it is with very deep regret that we tell people that George A. Mallis, joint author/compiler of the book on Morgan dollars, died some time around Christmas, shortly after the death of his wife.

George was getting on a bit and we often used to joke to him when he was feeling down that he couldn't possibly die as he was almost the bionic man, having had so many bits and parts replaced.

George was a great guy and a constant source of inspiration to us when writing our book on coin-weights and our book, Lions, Ships and Angels, on coin-weights found in Britain was dedicated to him. When he got going he was virtually unstoppable, despite his age, and he had many interests besides coins and coin-weights. He retained his interest in being a consulting engineer until the very last."
