Spink Auction lot lookup please

[Nick]

If anybody has access to any Spink Auction catalogues from the last few years, would they be kind enough to look up a couple of lot descriptions please? The lot descriptions required are Auction 8024, Lot 512 and Auction A9040, Lot 153.

Robs yer man

I believe both were NVF 1967 pennies

The first one is a pair of sixpences 1844 large 44 toned unc and an 1884 EF. Sale A9040? Obviously it is 2009, but isn't one of the four London Coin sales. Was it a foreign sale towards the end of the year? Can these be accessed via the website archive? The 8 refers to 2008 and then the sales are numbered incrementally throughout the year. It is the A prefix that doesn't make sense.

Many thanks Rob. I vaguely recall that A9040 was an internet only auction, but can't be sure. It doesn't appear in the archive list of auctions on their website. If it helps, I think the date of the auction was 15th December 2009.
