Description
Even though we are having spring-like weather here in NY, the calendar says it's still winter so here is our Winter 2024 auction. Of note in this catalog are a number of multi-coin lots, some featuring different animals on each piece. As well you will find some better selections from Canada, China, Great Britain (including a scarce medal for the Centennial of the Glorious Revolution), and Italy, several high-grade rupees from the British Raj, and the usual assortment of material from medieval times to the present from all over the world. Our auctions have no buyer's premium, so enjoy! And please remember that we happily handle consignments.
