Lot 3764
MEDALS AND DECORATIONS Pakistan, The Opening of the Lower Sind Barrage and Canal Headworks, Kotri, Bronze Presentation Plaque, 1955, by H H Plante, from Ransomes & Rapier Ltd to Mr P A Bovey, a panorama of the barrage, the upper and lower borders with details of the opening and the construction, 238mm x 123mm, on a free-standing wooden mount. Extremely fine and unusual. The Kotri Barrage on the Indus River near to Hyderabad is still used to control water flow for irrigation and flood control. It was opened by the Governor General of Pakistan, Mr Ghulam Mohammad. The firm of Ransomes & Rapier Ltd, of Ipswich, was founded by Robert Ransome in 1789, becoming Ransomes & Rapier in 1869. They continue to trade, now as Ransomes, Sims and Jeffries. H H Plante were Jewellers and Silversmiths of Bury Street, St James’s, London SW1.
Lot 15

Lot 16
†COINS, EUROPEAN TERRITORIES, ISLE OF MAN James Stanley, 10th Earl of Derby (1702-1736), second coinage, Bronze Proof Halfpenny, 1733, Stanley crest, the eagle with child upon cap of maintenance, plain cap, date below, rev Triune (cf Pr 29C; cf S 7410; KM 3a). Mint state and rare, this combination of bronze proof with plain cap is unrecorded. ex Dr R Caine collection of the Isle of Man, Spink Auction 145, 14 July 2000, lot 2715 ex Pridmore, Glendinings, 22 September 1981, lot 473, with tickets
Lot 23
†COINS, EUROPEAN TERRITORIES, ISLE OF MAN James Stanley, 10th Earl of Derby (1702-1736), Copper Penny, 1733, Stanley crest, the eagle with child upon cap of maintenance, frosted cap, date below, rev Triune (Pr 13; S 7408; KM 5a). Extremely fine, has been cleaned some time ago. The cleaning gives this the appearance of a Bath Metal piece, but it is copper and appears to be struck from the same dies as the proof in the following lot. Pridmore mentions that Seaby’s did an analysis of this in 1948 and found it to be 97.6% copper. Why he calls them bronze is most unusual, and I trust just a mistake.
Lot 53
†COINS, CHANNEL ISLANDS, GUERNSEY Victoria (1837-1901), Four Piece Bronze Specimen Set, Double, 2-Doubles, 4-Doubles and 8-Doubles, 1885H (Pr 75, 59a, 41a; KM 10, 9, 7). First two uncirculated, though somewhat toned, the 4-Doubles mostly brilliant uncirculated, showing off the die polishing lines, the 8-Doubles brilliant uncirculated and lacquered. (4)
Lot 56
†COINS, CHANNEL ISLANDS, GUERNSEY Edward VII (1901-1910), Four Piece Bronze Specimen Set, Double, 2-Doubles, 4-Doubles and 8-Doubles, 1902H (cf Pr 79, 62, 49; S 7213; KM 10, 8, 5, 7). The Double as struck with patchy lacquer, the other three brilliant mint state without lacquer. (4) ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 152 (part) ex R J Ford, Spink Auction 79, 15 October 1990, lot 141 (part), and Heaton Mint, Birmingham Guernsey seems to be the only country where these lacquered coins appear. Not sure why but their bronze seems to have a slightly different patina to bronze coins of other countries.
Lot 57
†COINS, CHANNEL ISLANDS, GUERNSEY George V (1910-1936), Bronze Specimen Double, 1914H (cf Pr 83; cf S 7217A; cf KM 11). Mint state, lacquered, rare, unrecorded in both Pridmore and Krause. ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 155 (part) While we have been fortunate to have the number of coins that the Heaton Mint Archive had in 1975, mostly specimen strikes, we were unable to obtain them for Guernsey. Our best indicator would be what Dick Ford had. He was one of the ‘special’ collectors of his day and he would have been one of the first people offered coins from Heaton. He did not have this denomination, but had the 2-Double of this date. However, we are aware of pre-1975 sales having some of these specimen coins, so a proper number is impossible, nevertheless, their rarity is not in doubt
Lot 63
†COINS, CHANNEL ISLANDS, GUERNSEY George V (1910-1936), Bronze Specimen 2-Doubles and 8-Doubles, 1914H (cf Pr 67, 26; S 7216A; KM 12, 14). Both as struck with a light tone. (2) ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 155 (part) ex RJ Ford, Spink Auction 79, 15 October 1990, lot 143, and Heaton Mint, Birmingham
Lot 68
†COINS, CHANNEL ISLANDS, GUERNSEY Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze 4-Doubles, 1864, single stalk to the sprig of laurel emanating from the top of the coat of arms (Pr 38; S 7207; KM 6). Uncirculated with attractive red colour, no hint of an overdate as listed in KM. ex Pridmore, Glendinings, 22 September 1981, lot 509 (part), with ticket
Lot 69
†COINS, CHANNEL ISLANDS, GUERNSEY Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze 4-Doubles (4), 1868 (2), 1874, 1885H (Pr 39, 40, 41 S 7207; KM 5). One 1868 with a few flan cracks on the reverse but extremely fine with some brilliance, the other possibly cleaned, good very fine, the 1874 and 1885H, both extremely fine with some mint red. (4)
Lot 71
†COINS, CHANNEL ISLANDS, GUERNSEY Edward VII (1901-1910), Bronze Specimen 4-Doubles and 8-Doubles, 1910H (cf Pr 48, 24; S 7211; KM 5). Both choice mint state with full lustre, the 8-Doubles with a few spots but the 4-Doubles is a quite spectacular coin. (2) ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 154 (part) ex R J Ford, Spink Auction 79, 15 October 1990, lot 142 and Heaton Mint, Birmingham
Lot 79
†COINS, CHANNEL ISLANDS, GUERNSEY Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze 8-Doubles (2), 1893H, first with slightly more robust lettering and date, second one with smaller, finer lettering and date (Pr 21; S 7206; KM 7). Extremely fine, the first with some mint red, second has been cleaned, traces of verdigris on the edge. (2) There is no hint on the larger letter piece that the same die was used and just repunched the letters, so there are two dies minimum for this issue. If you have only one of these coins to look at and wonder which variety you have, the centre of the 8 in the date doesn’t touch on the small letters variety, while it touches on the large letters one.
Lot 81
†COINS, CHANNEL ISLANDS, GUERNSEY George V (1910-1936), Bronze Specimen 8-Doubles, 1934H (cf Pr 29; S 7214A; KM 14). In PCGS holder graded SP63RD, appears to have been lacquered. It is not easy to be sure through the plastic holder, if the coin has been lacquered, but it does seem that the evident light hairlines are in lacquer rather than on the coin. This has probably resulted in the coin being graded ‘only’ as a “63”, visually it is better than this grade.
Lot 82
†COINS, CHANNEL ISLANDS, GUERNSEY George VI (1936-1952), Bronze 8-Doubles (2), 1938H, with two different finishes to the surfaces (Pr 31; KM 14). First uncirculated with prooflike surfaces, the second is uncirculated with almost full lustre, struck with a somewhat worn die. (2) The first has prooflike surfaces that is close to being a “Specimen” and is easy to believe it is from the Heaton Mint Archive dispersal. There was a “Proof” in Ford’s collection, lot 144, but it was unlikely to have been more prooflike than this example. Despite the misnomer, this is probably as fine as can be found, though obviously not up to the standard of the coin in the previous lot.
Lot 87
†COINS, CHANNEL ISLANDS, JERSEY Victoria (1837-1901), Three Piece Bronze Specimen Set, 1/48-Shilling, 1/24-Shilling and 1/12-Shilling, 1877H (Pr 54A, 37A, 12A). As struck, with golden tone, the two larger denominations appear to have been lacquered but still have a bit of tone, the 1/48-Shilling is not lacquered and brilliant. (3) ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 201 The number of pieces that came out in 1975 from the Heaton Archive only gives us a partial answer as to how many Specimen sets were struck, as they were known to exist, with and without the H before 1975. But we know four each of the larger pieces and nine of the 1/48-Shilling were in the Mint holdings.
Lot 88
†COINS, CHANNEL ISLANDS, JERSEY Victoria (1837-1901), Three Piece Bronze Proof Set, 1/12-Shilling, 1/24-Shilling and 1/48-Shilling, 1877 (Pr 54B, 37B, 12B). Uncirculated with patchy red tone. (3) ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 201 It has been difficult to get a consensus on these non H mm coins that ended up being struck in a small number, but where? Possibly at the Heaton Mint, or did the Royal Mint produce the die, strike a few for their records and then send the dies off to Birmingham where Heaton added the H?
Lot 100
†COINS, CHANNEL ISLANDS, JERSEY Victoria (1837-1901), Unique Bronze Pattern 1/26-Shilling, undated (1866), as currency issue but without obverse legend (Pr -; S -; KM Pn1). Good extremely fine and unique. ex Pridmore, Glendinings, 22 September 1981, lot 528 ex R J Ford, Spink Auction 79, 15 October 1990, lot 293 ex A L T McCammon collection, BaldwinÂ’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 193 One of my memories of the Pridmore sale is this coin and Dick Ford. When it came to expensive patterns or proofs, Dick usually got what he wanted without a great deal of difficulty. When this piece came up for sale he had one other collector, Mr. McCammon to contend with, who also really wanted this coin and the price was bid up well past its estimate and it sold for £2,600, quite a bit of money for a pattern in 1981
Lot 105
†COINS, CHANNEL ISLANDS, JERSEY Edward VII (1901-1910), Bronze 1/24-Shilling, 1909, and Bronze Matte Proof 1/24-Shilling, 1909 (Pr 40; S 7010; KM 9). First uncirculated, the second with minor dark spots both sides, otherwise as struck and unrecorded as a Proof, probably unique. (2) the Proof ex ‘Property of a GentlemanÂ’, Spink Auction 115, 9 October 1996, lot 1446 and ex A L T McCammon collection, BaldwinÂ’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 204, sold for £700 Mark Rasmussen at Spink said at the time of the sale to McCammon that this was part of the South Africa Mint Dispersal, which would make it one of the earliest coins to come from that source.
Lot 121
†COINS, CHANNEL ISLANDS, JERSEY Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Proof 1/13-Shilling, 1866, L.C.W. on the truncation (Pr 9A; S 7004; KM 5). Minor spot on V of VICTORIA, otherwise uncirculated Proof with subdued mint red. ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 192 (part)
Lot 122
†COINS, CHANNEL ISLANDS, JERSEY Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Proof 1/13-Shilling, 1866, without L.C.W. on truncation, a proof only issue without the initials (Pr 9B; S 7004; KM 5). Uncirculated Proof with subdued mint red, struck with more care than the example in the previous lot. ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 192 (part)
Lot 123
†COINS, CHANNEL ISLANDS, JERSEY Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Proof 1/13-Shilling, 1870 (Pr 10A; S 7004; KM 5). Light die crack from C of VICTORIA to centre of the coin, darkly toned but uncirculated. ex Pridmore , Glendinings, 22 September 1981, lot 527 ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 195 This date as a proof not in the Dick Ford sale. The flan crack would not have easily satisfied the two other serious collectors of this series, but maybe this was the best they could find. Perhaps the rarity has not really been acknowledged.
Lot 125
†COINS, CHANNEL ISLANDS, JERSEY Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Proof 1/13-Shilling, 1871 (Pr 11A; S 7004; KM 5). As struck, a choice example, mostly toned with subdued mint red. ex RJ Ford, Spink sale 79, 1990, lot 294 ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 196 (part)
Lot 129
†COINS, CHANNEL ISLANDS, JERSEY Victoria (1837-1901), Bronze Proof 1/12-Shilling, 1894 (Pr 15A; S 7006; KM 8). Uncirculated, patchy lacquer and a few hairlines in the lacquer. ex Pridmore collection, Glendinings, 22 September 1981, lot 531 ex R J Ford collection, Spink Auction 79, 15 October 1990, lot 303 ex A L T McCammon collection, Baldwin’s Auction 20, 11 October 1999, lot 203 (part)
