Yes, definitely Ross Bertram.
Sometimes people incorrectly credit Dr. Daley, who published it in a trick which I believe was called "Motile" in The Phoenix.

Re: Credit for the Thumb Base Slide
I'd like the proper citation on this item as well.
Is this from the apparently impromptu seated item where you put a coin on each knee and that sleight gets one into the fold of your pants?

No--this is sliding a coin beneath the base of your thumb with your palm-down hand across the table.
