Stacks Bowers Law sale catalog HB 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.

To read the complete catalog online, see: The Thos. H. Law Collection of English Gold Coins (media.stacksbowers.com/VirtualCatalogs/2013/Stacks-Bowers-Ponterio/2013_09SBP_AugANA2013_Law_Catalog_LR.pdf)
