-Editor
Perhaps Thos. Law was inspired by his father’s
expertise in Shakespeare, but whatever
the reason, he chose to collect the gold
coins of England. Over the years, Thos.
Law assembled one of the most extensive
collections of English gold coins and, seeing
the educational value of his collection,
exhibited the collection throughout the
country at various numismatic conventions.
Assembling the collection over the
course of several decades, Mr. Law became
close with Harvey and Larry Stack, who
not only sold coins from their extensive
inventory, but would bid on his behalf on
coins that came up for auction in London and elsewhere.
While Mr. Law was assembling his collection of gold coins,
Larry was assembling his collection of English silver coins,
and the two numismatists conversed on the mutual histories
and other aspects of their specialties.
