FIRST COIN COLLECTOR?

Regarding our discussion of the first collector, Jørgen Sømod
of Denmark writes: "In 1820 was in Hemselynge in Halland
in the present Sweden found a double hoard of 9.413 coins
of which the 83 coins was a collection ended in the beginning
of the 1330's. All the coins went to the Royal coin cabinet in
Stockholm. I am working on an article about this medieval
collection including a catalog of the coins, which all were
Danish coins from 13th and 14th century."
