On December 2, 2017, auction house Editions V. Gadoury will conduct its annual Monaco auction. The 1,384 lots include numerous world gold coins
The Monaco auction will take place at the Le Méridien Beach Plaza Hotel with its breath-taking view of the harbor of Monaco. A spectacular setting !
A large part of the coins to be auctioned this year are graded by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) and the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), the two major internationally recognized coin grading services in the world.
Almost 150 ancient coins – Greeks, Celts, Romans, Byzantium, the Migration Period – will kick off the auction. Among them is a large series of gold coins, ranging from Caesar to Majorian with most specimens dating to the 1st and the 2nd centuries.
