Norweb had a great Canadian collection, Scottish communion tokens and just about everything in between. I only focused on Latin American/Spanish Colonials as I mentioned in the upfront. If you want to build out the Great Britain have at it.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the plated coins were his. They belonged to a variety of collectors and he just used the best ones as plates for the book.

That is true, many arent. He notes the sources helpfully. For the ones he owns, she notes where he purchased them.

For the Calbeto plate coin I own, the 1764-G 8R, it was his and he noted buying it in a 1952 German sale.

Ortiz is pretty good Latin collection.

unless I missed it, would liked to have seen James Ten Eyck on there

Hyman Montagu is a pretty famous UK collector I've heard mentioned a lot. I really wish I knew more important UK collectors but I'm not sure a good place to learn. Only UK collector I have a pedigree for is Richard Terner who did seem to have some nice coins. I also mentioned in your other thread about Archbishop Sharp who seems to have had a nice collection.

Many famous UK collectors - there is a pretty good list floating around here someplace.
