ST. JAMES'S AUCTIONS JULY 2025 SALE

Here's the press release for the upcoming Auction 108 from St. James's Auctions. -Editor

St. James E-Sylum ad 2025-07-06 Auction 108 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).

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.
