        Edlins of Canberra Auctions

        New Yass Auction Rooms to Host Auction 223

        Exciting news for Edlins customers is that Edlins Auctions will now be run from our Yass shop/office premises from 2020. The reasons are many and varied. Although the lack of parking and difficulty accessing the Canberra Auction rooms has been the deciding factor. The Canberra store will still be open for normal trading. Monday to Friday 9.00am to 5.00pm and Saturdays from 9.00 to 1.00pm. Vendors may still also submit their Auction lots through the Canberra store if that is their preference. We would encourage clients with large holdings to attend our Yass store as the logistics of parking and unloading are much easier with free two hour parking literally 3 metres from the door of the Yass store.

        The online version of the Auction catalogue will be posted to the internet by the 1st February 2020. Enquiries to edlins@nulltpg.com.au.

        Update from Noble Numismatics: 11:32am AEDT, Tuesday 25 March

        These are unprecedented times and it is crucial that we all act with the best interests to protect the health of our families, colleagues and communities.

        Therefore, in accordance with Federal Government guidelines on gatherings, we advise that our auction is now online only.

        We continue to closely monitor the rapidly evolving situation and will advise all clients should any further changes be necessary.

        As a precautionary note, we anticipate that the volume of online bids will lengthen session duration.

        All those who intend to bid live must pre-register at Invaluable.com. Pre-sale bidding is unaffected and may be completed via www.noble.com.au or by submitting an absentee bid form.

        Our opinion of the market remains very positive and this is supported by strong results in recent overseas auctions, including record prices at a major auction last week.

        We thank you for your patience and understanding during this challenging time and look forward to your participation at the auction. Finally, we wish to express our support to all our colleagues and families in the wider numismatic community who have been affected by this crisis.
