Results of our Berlin Auction 2015

Dear Bidders and Coin Enthusiasts,

One highlight of the World Money Fair, which opens its doors in our capital today, ended yesterday evening: our 10th Berlin Auction provided an array of exciting numismatic moments. The yields from the individual items are truly impressive.



The coins sold were estimated at € 6.5 million, total sale price came in at 8.6 million. A result which we owe to the efforts of nearly 900 bidders (submitted bids, live telephone participation and the participation in the floor).

The results of the English coins were particularly impressive at a sale price of half a million Euro (60% above the estimate), the total hammer price of the American Dollars brought in twice the estimated price, as well as the Russian coins at a sale price of 2 million Euro, more than 40% above the estimate.

Further spectacular results were produced with coins from the Horn Collection, the total Hammer price was exactly at twice the estimate.

We would like to thank you, our customers, for your participation and for your trust in us!

Your Künker Team
