Sale 7 (Spring 447) includes ancient coins from the collection of M. Mehmet Ali Sevki Alhan, in addition to other material. Sale 8 (Spring 448) includes a notable offering of Tarentine coins. Sale 10 (Spring 449), while not attributed to a named collector, was deemed important enough by M&M to include finely printed plates (as opposed to their usual halftones). The additional materials laid in all pertain to Sale 11 (Spring 450) and include handwritten notes to and by Spink staff (including Robert Forrer) regarding commission bids and correspondence to and from Robert P. Pflieger of Brussels regarding Sale 11. Ex Spink Library.
