I have been unable to trace this
collection. It may have entered a private or unpublished
collection. Or, it could have resurfaced as
CNG 55, lot 1201 and/or
Triton VIII, lot 2061 and 2124. These are the only large groups I know to have come onto the market, save for the pieces from the
Trau collection that trickled out of
Munich in the last decade.
There are two pieces from
Mabbott sold as single lots (
Part II, lots 5248 and 5282). If these two coins are present in the
CNG 55 lot, I think there's a strong case that its the same
collection. There is an
EROS piece for the later illustrated, but it does not match the
Mabbott one. Maybe someone can track down a marked
Mabbott catalog and give us some insight. CNG's copy is plain.
