Geoffrey Bell Auctions are getting ready for their world class Toronto Coin Expo!! Over 700 Lots are up in the Warm Up Sale on October 1st! Then, the main session hits the auction block on October 4th with over 770 Lots to choose from. Bidders can register and place absentee bids now!
Here is a press release from Geoffrey Bell Auctions expressing their excitement and highlights from the sale:
We are really pleased to be offering some unparalleled numismatic material in our Toronto Coin Expo 2024 Fall Sale October 4th. This sale features many superb collections and pieces, including large and small cents from the Reg Albright Collection, an Eastern Townships $4 with manuscript signatures, Coloured Technology 3-coin RCM test set, a great selection of banknotes, and finally Geoffrey Bell’s initial medal offering featuring the Indian Peace medals and his New Brunswick pattern collection.
Imagine a grouping of ten with each piece being cornerstone-worthy in any collection. That is lot 53, Province of Canada, New Brunswick Trial and Pattern Set of 10. The word “museum” is utilized repeatedly in the description because that is often the only place to view such material, and even the venerable Bank of Canada Museum is in need of some of the possibly-unique pieces. As noted, “Most Canadian numismatists can only dream about owning this unique set.”
Lots 424 to 445 includes part 1 of the Geoffrey Bell Medal Collection. It features a significant
Indigenous collection, assembled over the last three decades. Dripping with history, Indian Peace Medals represent a very important part of this continent’s founding and are highly sought after because of this. For this reason we anticipate some spirited bidding for each of these lots. Read the descriptions for each of these because they are history lessons in themselves.
The Toronto Coin Expo Fall Sales goes live October 4th, 2024 at 5:30pm Eastern time, but bidding is available online now. Lot viewing will be available in Toronto October 3rd and 4th.
