Stolen goods

Please see below the details of two small coin collections stolen following a break in and burglary on Monday 9th November 2015 from a manor house in Gloucestershire.  I should be grateful if you would let me know if any of these are offered for sale through your rooms.

Please note that the small Georgian mahogany cabinet containing the Russian copper re-strikes is particularly unusual.  It seems very unlikely that any similar group of medals would be consigned for auction.
