Simmons Gallery is holding an auction of tokens and coin weights this week. Here's a summary from their emailed announcement, followed by some items that caught my eye. Check it out. -Editor

Token & Coin Weight Auction

Our current auction starts online this Tuesday 5 April from 12 noon. So still time to bid and to check how you're doing if you've already bid. If you bid yesterday, Saturday, you need to check your bids as there was an interruption of service on the website.

Lots of interesting stuff!
