At Thomaston Place Auction Galleries’ Annual Coin Auction on Sunday, September 13, over 1,100 numismatic lots changed hands over a period of 11 hours. The sale generated over $544,000, and 100% of lots found buyers.

Owner and Auctioneer Kaja Veilleux said “It was a marathon session – starting at 10 am and ending at 9 pm, but floor, phone and internet bidders were engaged throughout the 11-hour sale. And, we’ve already started building the next sale.”

A 1996 China Panda gold and silver bi-metallic 500 Yuan coin led the auction, selling for US$36,800. Other high flying lots included a 95-piece set of Morgan silver dollars, complete minus 1895, that sold for $20,125; an 1873 Liberty Head closed 3 $20 gold coin that fetched $14,375; and a 1793 Flowing Hair half cent that brought $10,350.

A complete list of auction results can be found at www.thomastonauction.com. The next Thomaston Place Auction Galleries big summer feature sale on August 23 & 24, 2016 will feature over 1,000 lots of fine art and antiques.
