In total, there will be 583 lots including many multiple item lots. I invite all to register for the sale and see the lots on Icollector.com; surely there is something for everyone.
THE JOHN ADDISON COLLECTION
John Addison began to assemble his coin collection in the early 1960's. Like many collections, it began modestly and without any focused direction. As the years progressed, he became an early purchaser of Royal Canadian Mint sets and dollars adding to a collection which he now supplemented through regular attendance at The Toronto Coin Club, Central Coin Club and attendance at Torex from its inaugural meeting, in addition to other coin shows throughout southern Ontario and Eastern Quebec. His participation at Torex can be witnessed by the number of souvenir tokens which are contained in the collection.
The collection which began so modestly would eventually number more than 7,000 pieces, with pieces representing over 50 nations, dating back to the 1500's and filling 14 binders. With the addition of many mint boxes containing dollars and sets the collection would, at its peak overflow 4 extra-large safety deposit boxes. True to the stereotype of his Scottish birth, he begrudged giving the banks any more than he had to, and during some home renovations, had a secret room build within his Toronto suburban home, where he could keep his collection closer and would allow him to enjoy it at his leisure. After his passing in 1985, his collection passed to his widow for safe keeping and enjoyment. It is now after her passing that the collection is being offered in its entirety for public auction.
