Welcome to Smalls Auctions Sale 240 There are two coins in our Sale that merit special mention. The first is a Great Britain 1893 Proof £2, PCGS PR65 Cameo. This is a superb example of this rare issue with only a few coins graded PR66 sitting in front of it in terms of quality. Outside of the overpriced US coin market is there a hotter series at present than British Coins? On a recent visit to Hong Kong I noticed the Chinese market has certainly quietened down with buyers looking for alternatives, but the ’Brits’ who ruled half the World in their prime still have eager pockets of Anglophile collectors spread across the Globe. It all comes down to their rich documented history that is known the world over through literature and film. The Kings and Queens of England are as well-known as the Roman Emperors and so their coins retain their enormous popularity. The second coin is a British India Gold 1841 Mohur PCGS with about Uncirculated details. Although PCGS have determined that it is lightly cleaned it is still an outstanding example that is highly sought after in the growing Indian Coin Market. India recently passed China as the most populous nation and with a burgeoning middle class you can expect a rapid rise in the values of Indian coins in coming years. I had numerous enquiries for Indian coins at the recent Hong Kong Coin Fair but unfortunately I didn’t plan ahead and had left my stock back in Australia. We also have a cameo selection of Costume Jewellery with collectable pieces by the Amy Kahn-Russell as well as other pieces of Jewellery in precious metals. There is an outstanding selection of World coin minors and a good selection of Australian Decimal Banknotes. Smalls Auctions
