Two papers relating to the estate of Christopher Blunt:
(a) 'C.E. Blunt deceased', typescript (copy), two pages on two folios (recto only), signed "RLU 16.9.88", on the possible ways to handle the tax on the excess in the value of the portion of Christopher Blunt's coin collection being offered for acceptance-in-lieu relative to the tax payable on the rest of the estate. The amount payable is £560,000. RLU notes that the "Baldwins valuation excluding the coins specifically left to the British Museum was £752,225", leaving an excess of £192,225. RLU suggests three alternative solutions for dealing with the tax on the excess.
(b) 'Blunt Collection of British & Continental Mediaeval Coins offered to the Fitzwilliam Museum for acceptance-in-lieu', typescript (copy), three pages on three folios (recto only), unattributed and undated but presumably the "Baldwins valuation" referred to in RLU's memorandum of 16 September 1988 (see above). The author might have been Peter Mitchell, the Baldwin's representative who was dealing with the Blunt collection at the time. The listing gives (i) the coin category, which for the later Anglo-Saxon and English kings consists in the issuing authority, (ii) the number of examples, and (iii) their value. The total value is £772,125, which is £19,900 greater than the amount given in RLU's memorandum of 16 September 1988 (i.e. £752,225) and presumably represents the value of the coins specifically left to the British Museum. There are some annotations, the most prominent being the enclosure of the value of two coins of early kings of Kent, amounting to £12,400, in square brackets. There is a question mark beside the value of a viking coin (£5500). The other markings are simply bullet points beside the value of several coins or coin groups.
