What is the sense of using the R. Tettenhorst moniker when that is not his name? Why does Bernard G. use an alias which will live forever falsely on slab labels and on a classy auction catalogue?
This is almost unprecedented in American numismatic history altho FCC Boyd used “Greatest Collection” for his Kosoff 1946 offering of his silver coinage and Stack’s the moniker Anderson Dupont in 1954. Difference is everyone knew Boyd was the owner (it was no secret) and Anderson DuPont were antique dealers, not numismatists. The vast majority of numismatists today only know “R. Tettenhorst” is the owner yet many would recognize the owner’s face.
