25.01.2022 This $100 note has the simultan colour missing across the entire reverse side. NPA's quality control means very few print errors such as this ever see the light of day - this is one of just 3 examples sighted on this denomination. http://ow.ly/XxGb50ADB3j

25.01.2022 This is just the 3rd miner's right we've ever seen issued for use in WA. Miners clearly seldom kept documents such as this, they are a tangible reminder of the importance of our mineral wealth.

25.01.2022 This rare medallion is believed to have been struck in 1854 by and for Australia's first private mint - the Port Phillip Kangaroo Office. It is 1 of just 2 in private hands. http://ow.ly/qVPg50AwmNO

23.01.2022 This historic and exclusive medal was commissioned by Sir Joseph Banks for Cook's 2nd voyage to the Southern Hemisphere. Very few are available to collectors, this example remains in superb quality. http://ow.ly/4Dy250ADB7f

21.01.2022 This is the first one of these exclusive silver coins we've seen in 13 years. They were presented to serving and retired regiment members on the 50th anniversary of the SAS. The box, certificate and shipper are all quite different to the standard release. We didn't know how to price it, so it's up for auction now on eBay: http://ow.ly/2KAM50ADAMR

18.01.2022 The best way to start an argument between numismatists is to boldly declare what a nation's rarest coin is - we hereby kick off round 1 with this article. http://ow.ly/tkls50AwmVn

18.01.2022 The 1930 penny is Australia's most well-known rare coin - there's a lot of speculation about why it's so rare, our article gets to the facts. http://ow.ly/gLU850AwmW9

17.01.2022 We just sold the first-discovered example of Australia's rarest circulating coin - the 1930 Penny with the London / English obverse. One of just 3 or 4 known of this type, we were able to trace the provenance back to 1966 - it had been "missing" ever since then. http://ow.ly/Jt3I50AwmIe

11.01.2022 This 1918 five pound note now has a new home in a Perth collection. Equal to the finest known and one of just 2 seen at auction since at least 2005.

11.01.2022 We had the privilege of selling the first-discovered example of Australia's rarest circulating coin a few weeks back, this article explains why it is so desirable. http://ow.ly/EjWf50AwmTD

09.01.2022 This proud specimen note was issued just before the Reserve Bank of New Zealand was formed. 5 was an incredible sum of money at the time.

07.01.2022 This unissued specimen note is a scarce and attractive heirloom of one of Sydney's strongest banks. It represents the era when Australia's circulating paper currency was privately issued. http://ow.ly/Wopv50ADAZR

06.01.2022 We sold one of New Zealand's rarest and most important coins a few weeks back, here's a background article on it. http://ow.ly/Sp2s50AwmXm

02.01.2022 There's been a lot of study into the causes of the rarity of Australia's 1930 penny, but far less research into why it has remained popular for decades. Our fresh archival research explains why - the story goes back to the 1940's. http://ow.ly/xLtN50AwmQP
