Some pitting, dark brown patina, very fine . Part of The David Heuer Collection, David Heuer of Memphis, Tennessee, USA, developed his passion for collecting coins at an early age. His father, Douglas Heuer, traveled to England frequently during the 1930s while in the hardwood business and purchased coins primarily from Baldwin & Sons. Several years later, after working his way across the Atlantic on a steamship with his brother Douglas, David visited Baldwin & Sons and enhanced his coin collection. Who would have thought that David’s passion for coins would be passed to the neighborhood children in Memphis? Two copies of the 1934 correspondence were found among David’s papers. David served with the United States Marine Corps during WWII and afterwards joined International Harvester Company. During his career with International Harvester Company David lived in Havana, Cuba, for three years and for many years with his family in Durban, South Africa. While living in South Africa the family enjoyed extensive travel to England, Italy and Egypt amongst other places. During this time David continued collecting coins always connecting them with the history of the country at the time of minting. This was an integral part of his interest. David continued collecting until his retirement to his family farm outside of Memphis.. In the later years David passed his collection to his three children, John David Heuer, III, Christopher F. Heuer and Anne Heuer Snowden., David died in 2007 and we, his children, have engaged Baldwin & Sons Ltd to sell our Father’s collection. We hope that whoever buys the collection, or parts of it, will feel the same sense of history and awe which we felt as Dad showed us each coin and described the history surrounding it. L300-400 "
