Coin Auction Results
Across 10 monthly auctions from January to October 2026, Copeland Roberts has sold 8,573 lots for $5.76 million, with 98.9% of lots finding a buyer.
We hold a numismatic auction every month from our Chippendale headquarters in Sydney, with live and online bidding open to collectors across Australia and overseas. In 2026 our catalogues have nearly doubled in size, and Auction 016 became our first sale to realise more than $1 million.
After each sale, our Managing Director Robbie Colborne reviews the results: what sold, what exceeded its estimate, and what it tells us about the Australian coin market.

How to read our results
Prices realised
The total the buyer paid: the hammer price plus our 22% buyer's premium. This is the figure quoted in our reports unless stated otherwise.
Hammer price
The winning bid when the lot closes, before the buyer's premium is added. Seller's commission is calculated on the hammer price.
Clearance rate
The share of lots offered that sold. A lot that does not reach its reserve is passed in.
Estimates
A guide to the likely selling range, not a ceiling. When several knowledgeable bidders want the same coin, it can sell well above estimate. Past results do not guarantee future prices.
Thinking of selling?
Consignments are open for our next monthly auction. We welcome important individual coins, established collections, inherited holdings and complete numismatic estates. Every lot is researched, professionally photographed and offered to the same bidders you see in these results.
