241h Abacus Auction: Coins, Banknotes, Sporting Memorabilia & Collectables
July 25th-26th, 2020
The standout section of the Auction 241 is the Australian Rules Football collection from Graham ‘Polly’ Farmer, unquestionably one of the greatest players of all time. We are delighted to be offering Polly’s extraordinary collection including his three Sandover Medals (the WA equivalent of the Brownlow Medal), four Simpson Medals, ten club Best & Fairest Medals, and a never-before-offered Tassie Medal. Even before we started advertising the collection, great interest had been created just from word-of-mouth contact.
The Cricket section is full of choice material with just on 200 lots including four Baggy Greens, very rare 19th century artifacts, the aboriginal player Eddie Gilbert’s autograph (twice!), cigarette cards, etc etc. An attractive range of golf trophies, an extensive Horse Racing section, one of Alan Jones’ F1 Grand Prix trophies, and a fascinating array of Olympics memorabilia also contribute to one of the best sporting offerings we have had. In the Collectables section, we are pleased to present an extensive range of Comic Art & Vintage Toys from the collections formed by Mick Stone.
In the Numismatic sections, we are offering a veritable Aladdin’s Cave of gold coins, from ancients to a magnificent 1855 Sydney Sovereign, and a high-grade Adelaide Pound. The Copper and Silver includes a number of rare proof coins. Highlights of the Australian Banknotes are a 1932 £10 Riddle/Sheehan along with a further selection of material from the Dr Alan Nicholson collection.
