L A Lawrence collection
Mabbot collection, Schulman 1970(?), lot 999
Dr. B Bird, Glendining 20 November 1974, lot 300
Bt. December 1978

The provenance given in the Bird catalogue as ex Grantley, Youde and Mack is incorrect. There are a number of copies of this fragment, the Mack sylloge piece weighing 1.34g (20.68grains). This would imply a full coin weighing approx. 2 grams, which is clearly too high.
