He died on 2 May 1773, and his son, Thomas Snelling, carried on business as a printseller at 163 Fleet Street, and published posthumously two of his father"s works.
He carried on business as a coin dealer and bookseller at Number. 163 Fleet Street, next the Horn Tavern (now Anderton"s Hotel). His name often occurs as a purchaser at London coin-sales about 1766, and among his numismatic customers was William Hunter the anatomist.
Snelling"s coins, medals, and antiques were sold by auction at Langford"s, Covent Garden, 21–24 January
1774 (Priced Sale Catalogue in Medal Room, Brit Music). The coins were principally Greek and Roman, but none of the lots fetched high prices.
There are three portrait medals of Snelling in the British Museum, by G. Rawle, L. Pingo, and Kirk (Durand, Médailles et Jetons de Numismates, p 190). A portrait of him was drawn and engraved by John Thane, 1770, and William Tassie made a medallion of him (Gray, Tassie, p 147).
