Lincoln 1896

First log in for a few years! Taken me a while to work though many posts! 😅

 

Does anybody know if Lincoln bid on behalf of anyone in the Montagu sale? Presuming he was just a dealer of the time?

 

Thanks in advance.

He certainly bought some lots in the sale, from 5 guineas down to Elizabeth fractional silver in part 3 for example, but don't know who for assuming they were commission bids. The diversity of lots won suggests they were for various people. Unfortunately my copy of Montagu 3 isn't fully named, so don't know the total lots bought. He bought loads in part 5.

Thabks for your reply Rob. Very diverse. I know a few of the coins went to Carylon- Britton though likely others too. Was just trying to chase some provenance.
