The Sylloge Nummorum Graecorum (SNG Lockett), is the largest and most complete of all the private collections published in SNG format. The actual collection was sold on the London market from 1955-1961 and occasionally coins from this collection are offered today at auction. The collection itself formed by Richard Cyril Lockett (1873-1950) is noted for the fineness, completeness and rarity of the coins, many of which came from the great sales of the 1890's to 1920's.
