How selling your coins from Melbourne works
From your first call to payment, one team handles everything, with a local contact in Victoria.
1. Get in touch
Request a free valuation online with a few photos of your coins, or give us a call.
2. Free valuation
We review your coins and give you a valuation within 48 hours. For larger collections, our local team will arrange to see them in person. There is no obligation to sell.
3. Catalogued for auction
We research, photograph and describe each lot, then offer it in a monthly auction, typically 4–8 weeks after consignment.
4. Sold and paid
Consignors are paid within 30 days of the auction, subject to receipt of cleared buyer funds.
We charge 0% seller’s commission, with no routine lotting, photography or marketing fees. Acceptance is subject to suitability for auction, and all consignment terms are confirmed in writing before you proceed. Buyers pay our 22% buyer’s premium, including GST, when your coins sell. Each lot should be expected to realise at least $350, and lower-value coins can be grouped together. How auction fees work· Full selling details

Arranged after your valuation request
Large collection or estate? We'll come to you
Large collections can be heavy, fragile or simply too much to move. For the right collection, we'll travel up to 200 km from Melbourne to assess it where it is.
If you're an executor or family member, we can take you through each step, including what the collection is likely to be worth and how it will be offered, at no cost to the estate.
Who you’ll deal with
Local specialists, backed by our Sydney team
We have specialists on the ground in Melbourne, so you can meet in person and talk through your coins. Behind them is our full team in Sydney, who bring years of numismatic and auction experience to every valuation and catalogue every lot we sell.
The team is led by our Managing Director, Robbie Colborne. Robbie owns Ensleigh Coins, is a member of the Australasian Numismatic Dealers Association (ANDA) and the Stamp and Coin Dealers Association of Australasia, and is serving his third term on the ANDA committee. He was a major contributor to the Renniks Australian Coin and Banknote Values book and has published numismatic articles in the Australian Coin Review.

What our consignors say
★★★★★
“What a fantastic experience it was dealing with Robbie and the staff at Copeland Roberts. Our consignment was large and Robbie himself came to Victoria to pick it up and take it to Sydney for cataloging and auction. An outstanding Company to deal with who show patience, enthusiasm, honesty and punctual delivery of what is promised.”

How auction fees work
Are you a coin dealer or an auction house?
We’re a specialist coin auction house. Rather than a coin shop or dealer making you a single cash offer, we offer your coins to competing bidders across Australia and overseas in our monthly auctions, so the market sets the price. Compare selling to a dealer with selling at auction
Do you come to my home?
For the right collection, yes. We'll travel up to 200 km from Melbourne to assess larger collections and estates where they are. Call us to talk through what you have.
When will I be paid?
Consignors are paid within 30 days of the auction, subject to receipt of cleared buyer funds.
