serious collections built over a long time include many unusual things in addition to the main concentration. sometimes there are infrequently seen items like the three inexpensive Henry VI

episcopal pennies (lots 75 to 77). The manuscript hinting at a tale of fatherly concern and the vagaries of love, lot 162, is part of the same collection. These come from a collector whose outstanding english collection anchored our last major auction. We are moving to the end of that collection and items like the us type coins and the investment lot of us proof sets are part of what remains. A robert bruce penny is from the same collection, the second such piece we have handled in the last year. If the past is any indication, it will be a while before we have another.

This collector had a good eye and enthusiasm, characteristics that continue to make his collection a pleasure to handle and an opportunity for others to benefit.

While there is more to offer from his collection, starting with our next E-Auction and continuing into our major annual auction (Auction 36 which will close in early february) we will begin

featuring another significant collection. It will be primarily milled material in high grades collected with an exhaustive approach—a solid run of early type and varieties ending with an effort to represent all the Victoria-and-on dates of the non-gold English issues. (‘Sorry, no 1933 George V penny.)

Collecting by date has not been the focus for collectors of british coins that it has for us coin collectors with their Whitman boards and red books, but prices at auction lately suggest that there is a growing demand for high quality 19th and 20th century issues. I noticed this with Victoria coins a couple of years ago and now I have been tracking prices for 20th century kings—Edward VII, George V and George VI. High grades for many of these issues are particularly difficult to find. The coins are typically common but choice uncirculated examples are very uncommon.

Of course you will continue to see a broad representation of the british series, Celtic to modern, the full two-millennium-sweep of numismatic history. We have been fortunate to be able to continue to offer fascinating and diverse catalogs of ancient, british, and world coins, tokens, medals, and miscellany. We would be delighted to give your collection the same careful attention when the time comes for someone else to treasure what you have owned for a while.

BOOKS AND REFERENCES162 ENGLAND. A finely written manuscript/document referring to an October 2, 1551 agreement.

(Early in the reign of Elizabeth I). Dark sepia ink on a rag bond paper (the first reference to a UK papermill was circa 1495 according to the British Association of Paper Historians website). 11 1/2 “ wide by 13 1/2 H. The document refers to a transfer of property to George Woode provided Woode’s daughter marries Willm Hope’s son. Woode’s daughter however, at age 12 in 1557 marries Willm Lawton even though transactions reflecting the 1551 agreement have already taken place. The document continues to trace the intricacies of the actions. The document comes with three separate sheets (5 pages) of research on the document: a transliteration of all 37 lines of the text, a handwritten guide sheet to the correspondence of letters on the document to the modern english alphabet, and a partial modern translation of the text. fine copy, well preserved.
