Auction Catalogues - The Bentley Collection

[dicker]

Hi All

For anyone with an interest in Sovereigns, I highly recommend getting hold of the auction catalogues for the Bentley Collection.

As well as a sales tool, it has absolutely invaluable information and very clear photographs of some remarkable sovereigns.

I purchased mine from eBay for £20 which I consider an absolute bargain.

Just to add - the Baldwins Auction Catalogues and realised amounts can be downloaded from here.

Invaluable information!

Couldn’t agree more, @dicker! A fabulous reference indeed!

Sample page to illustrate detail contained therein...

I am after some other coin Auction catalogues (being a bibliophile).

As time passes it becomes harder to track ones down - particularly ones from Australia which I am rather interested in

Another great post from you @dicker, thank you. I've followed your link to the Baldwins Archive and downloaded auctions 73 (part 1), 76 (Part 2) and 79 (Part 3), making a full set of The Bentley Collection. I'd love the hardback version that @CadmiumGreen has, but the PDF copies will make good reading in the meantime.

There's an auction catalogue for sale on ebay at the moment, but it's just for part 2 at £20 inc post, so bagging all 3 for £20 was a great buy.

Also check out the “Hemisphere” auction catalogue.  Another very interesting lot of Sovereigns!

I believe the Hemisphere collection can also be downloaded in PDF form too.

It is an equally valuable source of information.

Correct

Just came across the Bentley collection referenced today and searched it out

Found this, although it's already been posted from a different source above it seems won't do any harm to have a backup

few years ago i spotted this lot in a DNW auction (might have been summer 2021); the Quartermaster is the holy bible for Aussie sovs, not to be missed!

[dicker]

The Quartmaster catalogue is v hard to find.  I have been looking for a long time.

There was an Auction Catalogue and a Book published (v low volume) - I can find neither!

Very envious of the Quartermaster collection catalogue! It was a very special auction!

When I can't get hold of an original hardcopy I'll settle for a PDF, but I've searched the web and can't find the Quartermaster catalogue in any ebook format.

Anyone got a copy out there?
