About Auction
LiveJun 9, 2026
In addition to our gold and silver coinage, we bring to you the most complete set of James Mudie's bronze British 'National Medals' that we have ever handled. Each medal is nestled in an elegant album for easy storage and display. Key currency includes a famed ‘bison’ note, along with a collection of Roman and Byzantine ancient coins. There is always room for a few fun inclusions, for instance a stack of ‘short snorter’ signed notes, which includes signatures for Douglas MacArthur, as well as other notables.
