Plantagenet Collections (auctions)

[Descartes 148]

Hello chaps,

Do any of you more experienced chaps know of any 'famous' Plantagenet collections that went to auction in the last 50 years? As I've now fine tuned my collection to the Plantagenet period I'm looking for more specialist literature, and would like to trace some auction catalogues that perhaps  list rarer coins and varieties than the standard books/catalogues available in print now.

I know of the J P Mass collection (that covered part of this period), but would like to explore other big collections with choice coins that may have gone under the hammer.

Thanks,
Descartes

North, which you can see in Sylloge 39. Elmore-Jones, Doubleday, Sazama (a dozen or so sales through DNW), Stewartby, Delme-Radcliffe, Lockett. It depends how far back you want to go. Many named collections had a Plantagenet section, but only a few were devoted mainly to the period. There are plenty of more recent ones such as Robin Eaglen's, so it's more a case of when you want to stop. Most specialised collections will automatically include a number of obscure varieties - that's why they specialised.

Thanks Rob, I will start hunting down catalogues of the names you mentioned and see where it leads me!
