Here's the press release for the upcoming Auction 108 from St. James's Auctions.
-Editor
St. James's Auctions is pleased to present the upcoming premier auction scheduled
for 15 July starting at 11 am BST.
The auction consists of a good selection of rare and desirable coins including three
different collections, alongside a range of other properties.
The sale commences with the fantastic Philip Hutchings Collection of Coins of
Bristol, which spans from the Celtic period through to coins of Charles I. Phil was an
active member of the numismatic community, who is much missed. He dearly loved
Bristol and the history of the area, which he applied to his coin collection (lots 1001-1122).
Lot 1126
Lot 1127
We are pleased to offer a selection of British coins, which includes a ryal of Edward
IV which is certified and graded by NGC as Mint State 61 (1126), as well as an
Elizabeth I sixth issue sovereign mint mark A/A crosslet, which originated in The
Christopher Comber Collection (1127).
Lot 1136
Lot 1145
Lot 1146
Lot 1172
Also on offer are three five guinea pieces, once of Charles II with the overdate
1680/79, which features the elephant and castle mint mark (1136), as well as two
examples from George I, both 1726. One example is from the Lady Duveen
Collection, as well as the Douglas Morris Collection (1145). The second example
was previously in The Peh Family Collection (1146). We are pleased to offer an
example of the popular 1839 five pounds featuring Una & the Lion (1172). Certified
and graded by NGC as Proof 63 Ultra Cameo, it is in superb original condition.
Lot 1195
Lot 1196
The auction features further coins of Victoria including 3 Gothic crowns (1194-1196),
which are ever popular with numismatic collectors.
Our second named collection to feature in the auction is The David Rowe Collection
of Gothic Florins, which nicely compliments the 3 Gothic crowns on offer (1246-1304). David collected these and used them to aid him in his research for various
publications which are referenced in the text.
Lot 1376
The auction features a good world coin section which features many gold issues,
including a vast selection of Russian five roubles (1346-1371).
Our third collection is of a range of decorative medals, medallions, and plaquettes
(1381-1415). This is succeeded by a good group of world and British medals which
includes gold issues of Anne, Victoria and Edward VII (1428-1430).
Lots 61 and 62
Our other upcoming auction - Auction 107 will be held online on 8th July and includes
a real variety of coins from ancient times to the present. The auction contains proof
sets such as the 1911 coronation set of 10 coins, and a 1937 gold proof set (lots 61
& 62).
