Dear Coin Enthusiasts,
Dear valued customers around the world,

For the past years we have been compiling interesting articles surrounding our auction sales, the coin trade and the numismatic world in general and have been publishing these in our “newspaper” – the “KÜNKER Exklusiv”. We are happy to present to you here the first edition of the "KÜNKER Exklusiv" in English!

With our large Spring Auction Sale just around the corner, and so many interesting articles surrounding topics like coin provenances we felt this is the right time to present these articles to an even wider audience and our English-speaking customers.

The Mark and Lottie Salton Collection

Dear bidders and coin enthusiasts,

On the occasion of the auction of the Salton Collection, we have compiled the story of the Hamburger-Schlessinger coin dealer dynasty in a brochure as well as in a podcast.

Mark Salton (1914-2005) came from probably the most important dynasty of German coin dealers before the First World War. Behind the American name Mark Salton was Max Schlessinger, son of Felix Schlessinger (1879-1944), who was himself a nephew of Leo Hamburger the Younger (1846-1929). Together with his cousin Leo Hamburger the Elder (1836-1902), Leo Hamburger the Younger built up the most important German coin shop of the era before the First World War.
