Hiram Brown

Hiram’s love of coins started when he was a boy. His main interest was in the ‘bun’ pennies of Queen Victoria, which he collected by die varieties when such things were scarcely considered. Many of the major rarities in his collection were discovered by Hiram long before the publication of the books by Michael Freeman and Michael Gouby on the subject. A close friend of the late Laurie Bamford, whose collection was dispersed by DNW in June 2006, they exchanged information on a regular basis, from early days in London’s Cutler Street market in the 1960s, right up to Laurie’s untimely death.
The coins offered in this and future auctions are the result of many years of careful study, and Hiram’s family hope that collectors who acquire them derive as much pleasure from them as Hiram did.
