The medal, presented by to Lance Corporal Collins by King George V at Buckingham Palace, will go under the hammer at Spink in London next Thursday. |
Kathleen Spink, of Gisbourne Road, appeared at Kirklees Magistrates' Court yesterday. |
Spink, a numismatic firm established in 1666, conducted the auction with 832 lots representing banknotes from 150 countries. |
It was this display that set Spink on the road to a long and hugely successful career. |
Spink never left his office in St. Louis, but if you read his ghostwritten column, you'd think he was visiting all the major league parks. |
Spink is keen to see any examples of similar notes and will offer a free valuation to anyone who has any. |
