Description
Welcome to our Fall 2022 World Coin auction, a numismatic world tour featuring items from the 15th to 21st centuries, and a little of everything in between. Some better pieces from Central America, German States, India States, and Mexico highlight this auction, including a very interesting token from the Empire of Maximilian. We are also featuring a numismatic tribute to puffins, and a number of sterling silver commemoratives dedicated to endangered wildlife of the four-hooved variety. As usual, our auctions have no buyer's premium, so enjoy! (We are behind schedule on uploading images but they should all be online in a few days.)
