<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bgarg, post: 264528, member: 1876&quot;]Unfortunately I haven&#039;t read the reports published in those magazines, so can&#039;t say anything about them. It depends on the resource from which those magazines get the reports. By any chance do you know if the report was published in 1987 or before?</p><p><br /></p><p>One more fact about these two giant mohurs is that in 1987 these were being auctioned <b>second time </b>by Hapsburg-Feldman. </p><p><br /></p><p>Couple of years before this, the same two coins were assigned to “Spink and Sons” for auction. They produced a very beautiful leather bound book which is considered as &quot;the most beautiful numismatic publication&quot; ever. This book had color plates of the coins with the translation of poetic couplets of these coins. I don&#039;t know if in Spink&#039;s auction these coins were offered separately or as a group.</p><p><br /></p><p>Since Spink were unsuccessful in selling the coins; couple of years later these coins were assigned to Hapsburg. Hapsburg produced a two page catalog (which was prepared by Mr. Bates of ANS) for this auction. I have seen this two page catalog and agree with Mr. Bate’s statement that the two giant muhars&nbsp; were offered as a single lot in that auction.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards,</p><p>Ballabh Garg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
