London 1986. xviii, 420 pages, illustrations. Library Buckram. This listing of British numismatic auction sales for the early eighteenth century to almost the present day is a valuable resource to cataloguers and researchers. Until 1840, coins and medals frequently were included in more general collections ? often made by well-known personages ? and these catalogues offer a research opportunity into early collectors and their interests. The last half of the nineteenth century saw a greatly increased number of named and unnamed numismatic sales and, with a few notable exceptions, coins and medals from these collections have the earliest pedigrees cited for many outstanding pieces offered in the most important collections today. - In short supply (Ref: 29)
