On Thursday 25th September, as the official sponsors of Coinex, Stanley Gibbons Baldwin’s auctioned The Rebaczonok Collection of Russian, European, and American coins. Among the 350+ lots were coins of the Russian Empire, including many examples appearing at auction for the very first time.
The sale achieved a 100% sell-through rate - known as a White Glove Auction. This exceptional result more than doubled the lower estimate of £206,000, reaching a final hammer total of over £503,000.
Given the outstanding success of The Rebaczonok Collection, it is no surprise that many individual lots far exceeded their estimates. Lot 58 a 1792 Russian Catherine II the Great Gold 5 Roubles smashed a conservative estimate of £5000-£7000 when it hammered for £48,000.
Other items that outperformed expectations included Catherine II the Great gold 10 Roubles (Lot 57) selling for £23,000 and an Ivan III, silver Rouble (Lot 37) for £20,000.

“A fantastic turnout for our official Coinex auction, the Rebaczonok Collection. It was a white glove sale - all lots were sold, and we more than doubled the low estimate for the coins. Overall, a fantastic result for this lovely and academic collection.”
