Coins & Banknotes

From historically collectable Banknotes and significant British gold and silver coins to Ancient Roman, Chinese & Greek antique currency. Our Coins and Banknote Auctions cover a broad range of highly collectable items across a wide period of eras and origins.

Numismatic Value

At Bishop & Miller, we have also seen a steep rise in the popularity of collecting coinage, banknotes and tokens. We thoroughly enjoy the thought of someone 300, 400 or 500 years ago purchasing goods and trading with these fantastic little objects – it’s actually quite magical.

The workmanship in all coins whether they are just two decades old or 2000 years old tells a story and holds meaning. In fact, it’s key not to play down the importance of the aesthetics of a coin; beauty and design are highly sought-after attributes of coin collecting.

The numismatic specialists at Bishop & Miller have helped collectors and sellers both nationally and internationally achieve the best hammer price for their items. Whether you are selling a single coin or an entire collection, our team is able to advise you on current market values and all aspects of selling coins and banknotes at auction.
