Numismatic Sale #5

This sale has 336 lots of ancient and Medieval coins and antiquities which include several coins with pedigrees including five Lucanian silver coins from the Colin Pitchfork collection (some very rare varieties), one English Hammered penny from the North collection (North wrote the series "English Hammered Coinage"), two siliqueae from the Gussage All Saints Dorset hoard (including an EF Magnus Maximus!) and several British coins from old collections including GF Snelling, JP Mass, John Pittman and Chris Deuton. A few other highlights are: an unlisted Vandalic nummus of Huneric, an extremely rare Parthian dichalkon of Arsakes I, an exceptional archaic bronze of Himera, a rare bronze from the island of Melita, and a very rare countermarked coin from the Island of Gozo during the time of Napoleon. This sale also has a very nice selection of Eastern and Islamic coinage as well as the usual interesting and diverse offerings of antiquities. As you may have noticed, we have started branching out into world notes and have included a few rare and uncirculated specimens. We are currently in the process of preparing our sixth and seventh sales. If you are interested in consigning items to Agora Auctions, please contact us to discuss terms and procedures.
