Coins and medals, and gold coinages in particular, are well-tried classical collectibles. This is due not only to their old age and their long tradition. Rather, in numismatics, the history of art and economics, heraldic symbolisms and aethetics, go together with the most valuable and demanded materials that are known to exist.
Since ancient times, coins therefore have had their function as persistently valuable and future-proof objects for connoisseurs. At the same time they have served for capital investiment and asset protection. This is why coins have always been among the most valuable and promising collectibels.
When coins and medals or entire coin collections from holdings, estates or asset investments are for sale, it is a wise decision to choose a competent auction house. Auction houses, after all, are most profoundly experienced in the responsible-minded transfer of valuable collectibles. Long-standing specialized competence provides the prerequisites that, quite literally, are worth their weight in gold.
This is why, for many years, Rapp Auctions have been entrusted with the optimal sale of extremely substantial coin holdings, in addition to many of the very best stamp collections in the world. The quite considerable, and still increasing, significance of the international coin market is properly accounted for by the establishment of a Rapp Auctions Coin Department. Outstanding results of Rapp coin sales make regular headlines worldwide in the trade and economic press.
