Welcome to Smalls Auctions Sale 187. We at Smalls Auctions, like many of our clients, were stunned to hear of the news of the death of Queen Elizabeth II. Although not unexpected at the age of ninety-six, we all came to believe she would crack the ton as did her son Charles who comes to the throne at seventy-three years of age, a record for a new monarch. In this Sale we have we have assembled a variety of Coins and Banknotes that will provide you with an affordable memento to the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. Many are items struck for circulation that have survived in pristine condition and they offer far better value than the much-hyped coins ‘non-circulating legal tender’ coins being ‘pumped and dumped’ on the internet at the moment. My advice after forty-five years of trading in coins and banknotes is to avoid modern commemorative coins that have risen dramatically over the last few days as these prices are unsustainable and will come crashing to earth once the hoopla finishes over coming months. Of special interest in our Auction are a series of Commonwealth Banknotes featuring the portrait of the Queen. This is a long-standing collector theme to acquire Banknotes featuring the portrait of the reigning Monarch and it should be expected that prices of these notes will rise significantly in coming years now that Queen Elizabeth has departed. The Sale also includes a small group of collectables from a deceased estate as well as a continuation of a collection of Sewing Paraphernalia consigned by a Gentleman from the Southern Highlands of New South Wales. We hope you find something to satisfy your interests. Smalls Auctions
