Alcedo F Almanzar - The greatest Latin American coin dealer?

The late Alcedo Almanzar was a famous coin dealer based in Texas. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s he auctioned some of the greatest rarities of Central and South America, in particular coins from Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Bolivia and Mexico - and many many more. He had several "protégés" who later became great coin dealers in their own rights such as Freeman Craig.
