Coin Auctions Overview

 

The value of a coin is often determined by its desirability among collectors.  Coins that are highly sought after can command premium prices at auction, while those with less demand may not be worth consigning.  Before submitting your coins, it’s important to research their potential market demand.  If you're uncertain about the value of your coins and think they might be worth auctioning, our expert team is ready to provide a comprehensive valuation.

What makes Coins & Banknotes Valuable?

 

Coins can vary greatly in value, from ancient Greek and Roman pieces to modern currency, including banknotes, tokens, and medallions.  Factors influencing a coin's value include rarity, historical significance, and condition.  For example, gold guinea coins typically fetch higher prices due to their scarcity and historical importance.


On the other hand, coins such as old 50 pence pieces and many special edition coins released in recent decades, often with large circulation, may not hold significant value. However, when coins are deemed valuable, our coin auction department has a proven track record of achieving impressive results for clients selling their collections.
