The Canadian Numismatic Company - Auction May 1, 2009

The Canadian Numismatics welcomes you to its 4th Internet Auction of 2009. The Auction contains 968 lots of various Canadian Coins, Banknotes and Tokens. This Auction contains a superb assortment of Collectors material for Collectors of all levels. Contrary to what we could expect, the sale of Antiquities in the Numismatic field has not regressed but in our opinion has stepped up one level in this time of supposedly recession. Hard and Tangible investments is what people are turning too with the incertitude of the stock market.

This will be our last Internet Auction before we bring you our Main Event of 2009, The June TOREX Auction. This Auction will highlight approx 2500 Lots of some of the most sought after Canadian Numismatic material, some of which are Unique. This Auction will be brought to you Live from the Toronto Hilton Airport on the 26-27 June in conjunction with I Collector.

WESTERN ASSET RESERVE - OVER 650 LOTS WILL BE SOLD AT AUCTION ON SATURDAY, APRIL 12th

OVER 650 LOTS WILL BE SOLD AT AUCTION ON SATURDAY, APRIL 12th, BY WESTERN ASSET RESERVE IN KAPAA, HI

(Kapaa, HI) – Over 650 lots of investment-grade assets will be sold in an auction slated for Sunday, April 12, 2009 beginning at 4PM PST. This auction will feature the finest in rare and gold coins, currency, Asian antiques and collectibles, jewelry, gemstones, timepieces and high-end personal accoutrements.

With its location in Hawaii central to its business, Western Asset Reserve acquires much of its investment grade personal property, other than coins or stamps, through the markets in Asia. While markets in the US and Western Europe are often viewed as “tapped-out” as far as new discoveries of under-valued personal property, the markets of Asia are not and often yield significant finds. We regularly combine our expertise with that of professionals overseas to evaluate personal property finds. Our goal is assisting buyers with the enhancement of their investment portfolios with quality real and personal property which has strong potential value growth, particularly in times of inflationary pressures and strained currency exchange rates.

Among highlights, this auction will feature:

• over 180 gemstone lots including rare Ouro Preto Imperial Topaz and high grade appraised Colombian Emeralds as well as many affordable, high grade cut and rough gemstones;
• over 380 coin and currency lots ranging from highly collectible and affordable scarce items to a rare 1883 Hawaii 10 Cent Coin, an 1879 Indian Cent and numerous high grade gold pieces;
• over 50 lots of Asian antiques, collectibles and decorative art including an array ancient Roman bronzes, Tibetan ritual pieces, and an assortment of water buffalo horn scrimshaw;
• numerous timepieces, including a near mint vintage Rolex GMT Master II Stainless men’s watch and a new limited edition (only 206 pieces exist) Van Cleef & Arpels men’s 18K gold/alligator band watch with diamond accents;

This collection has been maintained ever since in the custom temperature controlled cellar at the owner’s historic antebellum mansion and plantation. Red Bordeaux highlights include 1955 Chateau Mouton-Rothschild; 1897, 1945, 1949, 1955, 1959 (including a double magnum) and 1961 Chateau Lafite-Rothschild; 1929 (en magnums) and 1961 Chateau Haut-Brion; 1937, 1949, 1953, 1955, 1959 and 1961 Chateau Latour; 1942, 1945 and 1955 Chateau Ausone; 1948 and 1955 Chateau Cheval Blanc; and 1959 Chateau Margaux.
