A note from BCD: In contrast to the two “display type” collections of exceptional Greek coins presented in the previous lot, here we have a selection made by Barclay Head from a much more extensive collection formed during the second half of the 19^th century that also included bronzes. It is fascinating but also instructive to observe and study Head’s choices; some coins he thought worth including would certainly not feature in a similar publication today. E. S. G. Robinson’s introduction is quite revealing; if only some people would read it carefully and then search the text equally carefully, we would not have 19^th century forgeries making their appearance in 21^st century auction catalogues.
