...Die O4(?): This section presents the 13 specimens of the debated "London group"
Dr. Alan Walker (in Leu Numismatics, Sale 91, 2004): "(...) Then there is the famous, and somewhat controversial, Baldwin/London group, which ostensibly derives from an otherwise unknown 19th century hoard: one piece has been in the British Museum since shortly after the coins first appeared, and the others reposed in the forgery trays (!) of the famous firm of Baldwin�s until they were rehabilitated in the early 1980s"
