This sale seems to have gone over the top a bit. However, I have been able to buy coins at the previous DNW auction as well as at the last two London Coins auctions at reasonable prices. In fact, one of the lots I bought at this one I think is pretty reasonably priced. Eight coins, but three of them justify the price and two others are keepers. Not great or super rare. But okay. The other lot I really wanted was the 1893 Jubilee head sixpence. I think it went for £2,500. Out of my league right now (I was willing to go to £2,200) but not outrageous given the rarity. It will be interesting to see if these prices represent a trend. Personally, I suspect there is a slight increase in interest as the economy continue to recover. But I also think that this sale might be a bit of an anomaly. Time will tell. A 50 year collection of some High grade coins AMD rarities Coupled with several factors, large denomination silver and advertised since june will bring in the masses. I'm not sure its a trend, its a High end auction that does'nt come around every month.
