I have put in a bid for the Roman Gold Aureus of Marcus Aurelius that will be on offer at the next Aureo & Calicó auction.

 

The dates of upcoming coin auctions I plan to participate in:

Coins Numismatic Barcelona - 30.03.2024
Stephen Album - 02.04.2024
Rauch - 06.04.2024
Spink (Numismatic e-Circular 34: Ancient Coins - e-Auction) - 09.04.2024
Aureo & Calicó - 24.04.2024
Stack's Bowers Galleries - 26.04.2024
Barac&Pervan - 11.05.2024
Spink (Numismatic e-Circular 35: Indian and Islamic Coins - e-Auction) - 28.05.2024

 

Nomisma has two Macedon Staters open for after market sale!

 

Thank you, but I don't think that they look better than the one offered by Spink, and they both cost more than the Spink one is likely to go for, the second one way more, so I am not going to buy either of them.

I won this at the Spink auction today:

 

Just so that we don't bid against each other, these are the 4 coins I have put in pre-bids for at next month's SINCONA auction(s):

https://auktionen.sincona.com/en-us/auctions/lots/170079?$goto=170079&auc_id=201 (I have only put in a 500 CHF pre-bid for it, so if it goes over that, feel free to bid on it)

Baldwin's will hold another auction next month: https://baldwins.co/en-GB/auction#/auctions/5bf2f957-3064-4750-89bd-10a946f6a7c4?department=BDW

 

I see that the coins I won at the Baldwin's auction are being held by customs, which means another 400 EUR or so of my money will be wasted on the communist parasites, I think that after the Spink Numismatic e-Circular 35: Indian and Islamic Coins - e-Auction next month I will stop participating in non-EU coin auctions, unless of course they specifically state that they have a subsidiary in the EU and that for their EU customers they will first send the coins there and then ship them to the auction winners in the EU, so that they don't have to pay anything to the moochers at customs.
