...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"
