By Stephen Album Rare Coins

Dr. Albert (“Al”) J. Beck passed on Wednesday, June 12, 2024 in Willows, California of natural causes. He was born August 13, 1935. He is survived by his wife Nancy Beck, sister Madeline Beck, one niece and one nephew, and cousins.

Al was mentor to many young people in numismatics. Image provided by Stephen Album Rare Coins.

Al was known for his witty personality and passion for environmental and ecological studies. He served in the US Army and later earned a PhD in zoology from UC Davis. He spent time working in Malaysia soon after, was a former instructor at Chico State University, and most recently was an independent environmental impact consultant.

He served on the Butte County Mosquito & Vector Control District Board of Trustees for many years through December 2023.

Al was a coin enthusiast and traveled widely to local, state and national shows around the country. He started a local coin shop, The Coin Lode, in the seventies and continued business under that name until shortly before his death. In later years, he focused on coins depicting animals, melding his zoology pursuits with the coin hobby. He had a loyal group of clients and was a mentor to many young people in numismatics.

Al served as the bourse chairman of the local Chico Coin Club show for many years. He belonged to many numismatic organizations, including the ANA, NCNA, CSNA, and others.

He will be sorely missed by family, friends, and colleagues.
