Hosker Haynes is pleased to announce that our upcoming e-auction 8 is now live and accessible for bidding at www.hoskerhaynes.com. This timed auction will begin closing lots from 10:50am on 10th February. We encourage participants to submit their bids early.
You will find amongst the sale, English Celtic, Anglo Saxon Sceats, English Hammered to pre decimal milled coinage, world coins and Military medals. Also a large section of the sale relates to the Kent Collection of Ancient World Coins
The Kent Collection represents a comprehensive assemblage of ancient coinage, curated over 65 years by the late Frank A. Atkins of Dover, Kent. Frank, born in the UK in 1927, later emigrated to Canada in 1973.
Throughout his collecting journey, Frank sourced coins from dealer lists and frequently attended coin shows to expand his collection. Many of the dealers with whom he engaged are no longer active in the field.
The collection is featured across both our catalogue and timed sales, providing options suited to collectors of all interests. Beyond the significant breadth and historical importance of the Kent Collection, each coin reflects not only an artefact of antiquity but also the unwavering passion and commitment of a dedicated collector. As you browse the catalogue and timed sales, you will encounter coin lots from diverse civilisations, showing the enduring legacy of Frank's careful stewardship—all combining to present both experienced numismatists and newcomers with an exceptional collecting opportunity.
