Departments: Coins and Banknotes

Coins and banknotes are fast becoming one of the most sought-after categories of items here at Ryedale Auctioneers, with specialist collectors and investors showing great interest in our auctions. 

Sovereigns and other gold coins, rare banknotes, and silver proof commemoratives are just a few examples of the types of items you can find in our Coins & Banknotes Department, and our team of Valuers have a thorough knowledge of this area, allowing us to value and authenticate pieces that come through our doors. 

Prior to the auction, items are carefully researched, sorted, and catalogued, by our team of professional valuers. The lots are then carefully photographed and published on two online bidding platforms as well as our website, and a notification email is sent to our contact list of thousands of previous customers. As well as hosting in-person buyers on our public viewing days, we receive and respond to hundreds of condition reports every month from remote buyers across the globe, giving your pieces the best possible chance of a successful sale.  

With our team of experts guiding you through the selling process, you can trust that your items are in good hands.
