Among the items stolen in February 1962 from the premises of B.A. Seaby was a Richard III London penny, which at the time was unique. To this day it has not been recovered. A few years ago a low grade specimen was discovered and sold at auction and since then two more examples have passed through these rooms (in 2012 and 2019)
