           Coins; the following thirteen lots each consists of a folder of plastic coin pages. The whole
               forms a wide-ranging world collection, the strength being in the depth of coverage of coin-
               issuing countries, some of which are seldom seen. While the large majority of coins are
               modern (c.1960s to date), there are earlier issues here and there, and there are scarcer items
               scattered throughout. Condition is generally fine, much as would be expected, but some
               coins have been polished. Coins have been held in place by being surrounded by little
               staples, but we have not seen any damage caused by this.

              room, in the bar upstairs (and to the outdoor smokers !), that the stamp section is about to resume.

 

           As this is a larger sale than we have had for some time, we will be trying to keep the auction
               running as speedily as possible, especially through the Collectables section. Customers can help
               by bidding clearly and decisively, and indicating if they are dropping out of the bidding.

THE END OF THE SALE
� Robert Murray 2009

                                                       
 

A Buyer�s Premium of 10% (vat-inclusive) will be added to all sale prices.

0845 0500 886   Use this number to make bids or to check on prices after the auction � or any time you want to speak to us � from anywhere in the UK for the cost of a local rate phone call.

 

�uro Currency; We are happy to accept Euro cash payments in our shop. We display our rate beside the counter. We normally allow the market rate rounded down to the next whole penny. For example, at the time of writing, the market rate is 0.8724, so we are allowing 87p per Euro (which is probably better than your bank will give you). You can also pay for auction lots in Euro banknotes (postal customers please confirm before sending). We also accept payments in our shop in Euros, and we buy the old �legacy� currencies, as well as other coins and notes.

 

Most auctions include a few lots which, due to their large size or weight compared to value, will not be taken to the auction venue. They must therefore be viewed at our shop during the previous week, and successful purchasers will be responsible for their collection from us. The symbol for these is � �, and very generally speaking, there's a cut-off point of about �2 or �3 estimate per kilo weight.
If you attend the auction and buy any of these lots, you can either call at the shop during normal opening hours, or it is sometimes possible to arrange to pick up after the auction has finished (though please first speak to Mr. Murray to arrange this).



 

NORMAL BIDDING STEPS

attend the sale, as any written bids received which do not fit our normal pattern would usually be taken

change if circumstances make it desirable.)
Up to �20, bids are in �1 steps.                From �20 to �30, bids are in �2 steps.
>From �30 to �50, bids are in �2 or �3 steps (i.e. �30, �32, �35, �38, �40, �42, �45, �48, �50).
