THE LATE ROBINSON S. BROWN JR COLLECTION (Part IV)
THE LATE ROBINSON S. BROWN JR COLLECTION (Part IV)
In accordance with DNW house style, this collection has been catalogued by location rather than by denomination as in Dalton and Hamer; in this way pieces relative to each other and specific to a particular locality are easier to find. Tokens issued by named individuals are listed alphabetically, preceding those struck by manufacturers for specious gain. The opportunity has been taken to record the weight and die-axis of each piece, information which might not only help pinpoint pieces from the collection in future years should original tickets and
envelopes be discarded, but is also increasingly relevant to those who study the series in depth.
With the exception of the first lot, re-offered due to an in- house technical fault last year, the lot number sequence follows on from Part III (DNW, 5 October 2011). For more information on individual issues and issuers, see the Appendix at the back of the catalogue.
