World coin auctions are the best source for coin collectors to acquire rare and historic coins from around the world.

From modern issues from the world’s leading mints to vintage coins from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and Australia, America’s leading auction firms have dedicated auctions with the collector in mind.

From million-dollar Chinese rarities to European silver thalers and gold issues to the famous Spanish Milled coinage of the 17th century, world coins always garner attention.
