DENNIS DUNKERTON (dealer)

Square yellowish cream card.

Windsor Coins? I bought several coins from John Dunkerton (equally neat labels) but am not sure if Dennis is his son or his father. Looking at the price of that 1904 penny, that would be post-1970s and therefore presumably the son. (I met both again at the Midland Fair, late 90s)

Denis is the son. His father died last December. The penny was a maundy bought earlier this year for a customer.

The first one I should know, but the name eludes me.

Bottom one looks like a Seaby ticket. Plus, the price of £75 suggests it is late 80s or early 90s. Coincraft 2000 gives a VF price of £100.

One day Coincraft will catch up with their pricing.I suppose they only need a couple of mugs per week.

Thanks Rob.

There is a possibility the bottom one could be S&B, as they also used yellow tickets, but the number looks a bit high. A full ticket would help.

Hello Rob,

Would you say that this is from the Boyd sale? Striking similarities in the handwriting. The GHC stamp in red is also interesting me, any ideas?

thanks for any help

It is the same handwriting both sides and is a Boyd ticket. The GHG signifies that the coins came from Boyd's maternal uncle, George Henry Gaviller and were probably inherited on his death in 1880. Further reading can be had in the extensive foreword to the Boyd catalogue. The price code is made from a mixture of archaic Greek and Runes. This presumably was Boyd assigning a value to his coins.

That isn't a Parsons ticket, rather the end buyer of lot 879 (don't have the buyer's name). 1528 will be a stock number looking at the colour of the ink and that on the other side of the ticket.
