The Coinsweekly article is here: https://www.coinsweekly.com/en/News...e/4?&id=5819 And listings of the lots, including the hammer prices from the auction which had just concluded, start at the link below. Many of these coins are of exceptional quality: https://leunumismatik.com/9382hf3wj98fcwq0u721sdcc Edited by Kamnaskires 12/27/2018 8:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ryurazu Pillar of the Community Australia 1333 Posts	Posted 01/03/2019 03:05 am i wonder who actually has to pay? I mean the seller technically sold their items, but the buyer didn't receive what they paid for. would the auction house take the loss in this case or what (insurance)?

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21645 Posts	Posted 01/03/2019 04:10 am The only way to get a really good price for them is to try to dispose of them through internationally recognized coin dealers, or through the international auction system. All lots would have been accurately described and documented. THAT fact will make it much harder to dispose of them in a clandestine way. Computer records for these lots will not be allowed to die, so it would even be a poor position for whoever wants to dispose of them, even in 20 years time. Provenance IS important to auctioneers, dealers and collectors alike. Edited by sel_69l 01/03/2019 04:11 am Report this Post to the Staff
