A collection of modern coins is estimated to sell for thousands of pounds in the Charterhouse September specialist auction of coins, medals, stamps and collectors’ items.
Richard Bromell said: “The market for coins continues to remain strong from 13th century hammered coins through to modern collector coins such as these.”
The coins were collected by the owner’s late father – the vendor inherited a flat and contents after his father died. He had little knowledge or interest in the coins and took them to a Charterhouse specialist coins valuation day where he was surprised to hear them estimated at £5,000.
The coins are entered into Charterhouse’s two-day September auction with coins, medals, militaria and stamps on Thursday, September 1, followed by model cars, trains, collector’s items and clocks on Friday, September 2.
