Simmons Gallery in London is also holding a numismatic literature sale this month. Here are some selected lots.
-Editor
The library of the late Scottish collector Andrew Macmillan is being auctioned by Simmons Gallery on Tuesday 17 May online only from 12 noon.
His interests were in all things Scottish, with a particular emphasis on church communion tokens. This library is probably the the best for such humble tokens and their historical background. Some items are annotated photocopies of the hardbacks also offered here, many rare or scarce to find. Start prices are low and everything has to go!
