| In our regular Books, Coins and Stamps auction, there’s a feast for collectors including a rare 1611 King James ‘Great She’ Bible as well as a signed photograph of Franklin D Roosevelt to the renowned violinist Margaret Harrison. A single-owner collection of proof sovereigns in our coin section includes sought after commemorative sets while another single-owner collection contains a wealth of 18th century British regional coinage among other treasures. For the philatelists there is a collection including twelve 1840 Penny Blacks, as well as some interesting curiosities such as an 1872 Green Shilling stock exchange forgery and an album of ‘Errors and Varieties’ for those who seek out the serendipitous misprint. |
