Results Spring Auction Sales
16. - 24. March 2023 | Vienna House Remarque, Osnabrück
Dear bidders and coin enthusiasts,
On Friday at 6.30 pm our Spring Auction Sales ended with a remarkable total hammer price of 15,4 million Euros (Not including Buyers Premium). The total estimate of the auctions was once set at 9.1 million Euros. Thus, the more than 4,300 lots improved by almost 70% compared to their set estimate.
In the past seven auction days, we had the pleasure of selling a total of 11 special collections. In all cases it proved once again: Künker is the right address to offer and sell your well-kept special collections. All collections increased significantly in value compared to their estimate.
We would like to mention just a few examples: the Roger Wolf collection (catalog 383), which improved by more than 75% hammer price to estimate. An even greater increase saw to the pieces from the collection of Professor Schedel (catalog 384): the coins and medals from Salzburg almost doubled from the original estimate. The hammer price of the Bader collection (catalog 385) was even greater – our bidders had to bid 3 times the estimate to be able to acquire their desired objects from that interesting collection.
Another trend became apparent in this auction: medals are becoming more and more popular as a separate field of collecting. Especially the Prussian and Habsburg medals from the Bader Collection reached record prices in a lot of cases. Also in catalog 386 we had the pleasure to offer numerous rare and very well preserved medals in gold and silver. As you can see from the highlights below, some of these pieces have reached new price levels.
We would like to thank our consignors and bidders for the trust they have placed in us. We were very pleased to welcome again many bidders personally in the auction room in Osnabrück.
We are already very much looking forward to our Summer Auction Sales from June 19-23, 2023 here in Osnabrück. We would be especially pleased to welcome as many customers as possible personally in the auction room again.
With best regards from Osnabrück
Your Künker Team
