Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge. Roman, Roman Colonial and Greek Coins (R. H. Morcom). (London). 2-3 December 1924. 340 lots, 10 photographic plates. Sale starts out with 160 lots of Roman AV. Fine quality brown half cloth with gilt morocco title plate, original printed card covers bound in. Fine condition.

Another part of the Morcom collection was sold by Rodolpho Ratto in February 1928 (see lot 2475). The Morcom collection of western Greek Æ was donated to the British Museum, and published as SNG Morcom (1995). Interestingly, in the introduction to that volume John Morcom, the grandson, gives his name as R. K. Morcom, calls him an “enthusiastic if restless” collector, and notes the family apparently has no record of the Greek coins sold under his name in the Ratto sale, although some, apparently unsold bronzes were found later in his collection.
