focus of tliis aiicrioii, staged to coiicitle with the annual (iOlNI.X show. I he first 452 lots comprise an excellent run of the minor tienominations from (ihtirles II to Victoria, put together at a rime when there was a far greater choice of material to buy than there is now. Old pedigrees, some going hack to the mid-iyth century, abound; several pieces were once in rhe famous Montagu collection, while others were act|uircd directly from auctions atid dealers in the late 19th century. Of particular merit are two top quality Ciharles II pkimes shillings, 1677 and 1679 (lots 42 and 44), a superb James II shilling, 1686 (lor 68), an excessively rare (ieorge IV pattern shilling, 1820 (lot 559), and a Victorian pattern sixpetice, 1884 (lot 429). Dr James Davidson (1896-1985), of West Linton, Peebles-shire, in later years consultant pathologist at Edinburgh Southern Hospitals but formerly director of the Metropolitan Police forensic laboratory at Hendon, was a very well known collector of Scottish and ancient Greek coins for some 50 years. Besides actively adding to the collection begun by his father, he enjoyed a keen interest in alpine plants. A certain element of the coin collection was disposed of in 1980, but what remains includes such gems as a James V bonnet piece, 1540, acquired when the coin was exactly 400 years old (lot 884), the attractive James V gold crown from the Guthrie Lornie collection which is illustrated in Burns’ classic work (lot 885), and an unusual rarity in a Charles II half-merk, 1664, officially counterstamped with the date 1665 (lot 947). David Griffiths has been a collector of Hertfordshire-related coins and tokens for many years, bur has now decided to part with his Anglo-Saxon and Norman coins of the Hertford mint. The 21 pieces in his collection, including the Harold I Jewel Cross specimen (lot 611) and other great rarities, represent the largest single offering of this mint since the dispersal of the William Longman holding back in 1957. Completing the first session of the auction is the last part of the Linden collection of British sovereigns, a group of 282 pieces being sold in 144 lots. Other properties of British coins include proof sets of 1826, 1851 and 1859 (lots 805-5), an unusual 1856 sovereign with a raised N in the garniture of the shield (lot 761), a George 11 pattern two-guineas, 1733 (lot 725), a Charles I Oxford triple unite, 1643 (lot 680), a Cromwell broad, 1656 (lot 689), a superb example of the first Hiberno-Manx penny (lot 1073), and a small group of touchpieces (lots 973-980). World coins are headed by the Bill Adams collection of coins, tokens and medals of Malta, among which is an extremely rare 4-tari, 1660, of Annet de Clermont Gessan (lot 1103). General properties include an extremely rare Liege ducat, 1792 (lot 1266), and a Woods farthing in silver, 1723 (lot 1381). Thirty-three lots are devoted to a folio of correspondence, much of it numismatically-related, from the personal papers of John Charles Herries (1778-1855), Master of the Mint from 1828 to 1830. Bringing the auction to a close is a good group of British banknotes, including an unissued Nairne 1914 gold note (lot 1566), a run of English provincials including some rarities, the comprehensive Malta collection formed by Bill Adams and a rare Bermuda five-shillings, 1920 (lot 1711).
