Baldwin 44, 2 May 2006, lot 220 [via Spink, ref. SPK18315/3]


"Baldwin Hoard", c. 1993



"A parcel of forty-four St Edmund coins appeared on the London market in 1993. It was acquired by A.H. Baldwin and Sons Ltd, who immediately made it available for study. Through the good offices of Peter Mitchell the coins were temporarily deposited at the Fitzwilliam Museum to be photographed and weighed. There is no information at all about the location or circumstances of their discovery, although they quite clearly come from a hoard and one which is most likely to have been found in East Anglia or the East Midlands."
