Hosker Haynes auction of Ancient, British and World coins

Hosker Haynes held their second auction of ancient, British and world coins at the Thistle Holborn Hotel in London on Tuesday 12 September. The sale started with Part Two of a collection of Anglo-Saxon coins, which is followed by a selection of Greek, Roman and Ancient British, hammered gold and silver, a range of early milled, including two exceptional 5 guinea pieces, later milled coins, a few lots of foreign material and nine lots of medals round off the sale.
