With the Australian numismatic market remaining buoyant despite the troubled times in which we live, I fully expect Sale 338 to mirror the tremendous success of our previous auctions in 2020 – particularly Sale 337. Collectors continue to enjoy the simplicity and effectiveness of our Live Auction Platform, and Sale 337 was further proof of that fact. Held online only, Sale 337 saw a clearance rate of 100% on the first day, and a massive 95% overall! Once again focussing on ‘quality over quantity’, and once again to be held exclusively online, Sale 338 comprises 1,817 lots. Apart from classics of Australian numismatics such as a 1930 Penny, two 1852 Adelaide Pounds and hundreds of sovereigns and half sovereigns, the sale also encompasses some truly great Australian rarities. A 1927 Canberra Florin Proof (PR66), a 1934 Proof Set (PR66-67), an 1855 Sydney Mint Sovereign Type (AU50), a £5 Coombs/Wilson Star Note…the line-up is breathtaking. When you also consider the inclusion of a plethora of decimal rolls, a host of Royal Australian Mint and Perth Mint products and a huge selection of world coins, there’s something for everyone in Sale 338! I would like to take this opportunity to wish you well, and I hope you enjoy reviewing the glittering array of material found in Sale 338. If you want to take advantage of the currently buoyant Australian numismatic market, contact us now! Our next auction is scheduled for February 2021, and we will be accepting consignments until the end of the 2020. Enjoy your collecting!

    Australian Australian Gold of King George V

    AUSTRALIAN AUSTRALIAN GOLD OF KING GEORGE V Born June 3, 1865, King George V ascended the throne upon the passing of his father, King Edward VII, on May 6, 1910. Confronted with the First World War, the Roaring 20s reconstruction and the Great Depression, George V was destined to oversee one of the most tumultuous periods of European and, indeed, global history. The turmoil that enveloped his time in power is perfectly encapsulated by the history of the world’s most famous gold coin – the Sovereign.

    Preserve the Past. Invest in the Future

    RARITIES FOR INVESTORS & COLLECTORS PRESERVE THE PAST. INVEST IN THE FUTURE. JUNE 2016 Rarities Great coin rarities have an edge that goes far beyond their scarcity. They reflect great moments in time and have a wonderful story to tell. It is an immense honour to own a great Australian coin rarity. It also is an education in the nation’s history. We invite you, and your family, to share the experience. FEATURED ITEMS: 19 3 0 Penn y It is a fact that every 1930 Penny that we acquire … is sold relatively soon after it is featured. We have formed the view that our clients respect our selection protocols. And are aware that we sell coins with the underlying aim of buying them back. 1921 Square Halfpenny The 1921 Square Halfpenny is evidence of the Labor Government’s grand plan in the 1920s to overhaul the nation’s coinage, and break away from British designs by introducing a uniquely Australian Penny and Halfpenny. Some say it was the rumblings of a Republican movement way ahead of its time. 1873 Half Sovereign Melbourne Mint From the day this 1873 Melbourne Mint Half Sovereign was struck, it was destined to become a prized collector piece. The striking is remarkable: the design is highly detailed. Furthermore the coin has been brilliantly preserved, the coin is proof-like in appearance. 1813 Holey Dollar With the launch of Coinworks Holey Dollar Pictorial History, this Holey Dollar now takes its rightful place in Australia’s currency heritage as reference number 1798/15. Held by a New South Wales collector since the late 1990s, this Holey Dollar is distinguished as being the very finest of the known ‘T Knight’ counter stamped Holey Dollars.
