Collectibles: coins, stamps, books, militaria: auction prices

We have recorded 5 auction sales with a price of 7 models by 7 makes in this category, and 2 lots are at auction now. Pick a make, or a model below.

This category covers collectible items valued for their history, rarity or cultural interest rather than for use, including coins, medals, banknotes, stamps, postcards, books, manuscripts, comics, posters, militaria and memorabilia. Buyers range from specialist collectors building a themed set to investors seeking scarce pieces in strong condition. What matters most on a used item is authenticity, provenance, completeness and condition, since wear, foxing, fading, missing parts or restoration can all affect how a piece is regarded. Scale models, die cast trains and kits also circulate in this space, where buyers look closely at box condition, completeness of parts and whether a model has been built or remains sealed. Documentation such as certificates, original packaging or a clear chain of ownership adds confidence for anyone buying collectibles of this kind.
