Shortly afterwards Mrs Norweb visited Seaby, happened to see the coins and bought them in their entirety. When Spink sold the balance of the Norweb English collection by auction in the mid 1980´s (Spink 45, 48, 56 and 59), the parcel was far too extensive to include. A few Edward IV Groats were incoporated in the Norweb sales but the balance were purchased by Spink, by private treaty, and subsequently dispersed.
