Universal Coin Company Monthly Auction May 2016

Auction CurrencyAUD Auction Location11 CENTRE PLACE FLINDERS LANE, MELBOURNE, Victoria, 3000, Australia In Person PreviewAll lots are available for viewing in our Melbourne Shop by appointment only.

Auction Details

This months offering is largely made up from one Victorian collector, who over the course of 20 years has amassed an incredible collection of Australian Coins and Banknotes.

Some of the highlights include

Huge selection of high grade Pre Decimal notes
Wide variety of both Paper and Polymer Decimal notes
2 x 1923 Half Pennies
Many high grade and key date Pre Decimal coins

Given the sheer volume and superb quality on offer we will be doing things a little bit differently this month, with almost all lots set with reserve prices. Having said that, reserve prices are quite low and in many cases just a fraction of catalogue value.

All lots are available for viewing from our Melbourne city office by appointment only. Live bidding opens Tuesday 10th May 2016 at 8:00pm AEST.
