Description
Seems like spring has finally arrived here in New York and we have (maybe) turned the corner on this pandemic so it should be a good time for another world coin auction. There are several areas of focus this time: a nice run of Canadian silver with some high-grade pieces, including the key date 1948 half-dollar; another smattering of Chinese material from an old collection including some very scarce items; a selection of silver crowns from around the world; and a few bulk silver items. As usual we try to throw in something for everyone, including some ancients and type sets from hard-to-find countries. There is never a reserve so everthing will sell and there are always bargains to be had for the savvy collector. Enjoy!
