Private North Carolina Collection


All coins being offered are from a scholarly numismatic cabinet that was one collector's passion for over twenty years. Starting the collection around 1990, he went on to amass over 2,000 coins representing many of the ancient cultures that flourished from Britain to India. Every coin from this collection is fully attributed in manuscript on its own unique 2x2 envelope.

While Leland Little Auctions has not verified all of the collector’s attributions, we have performed a reasonable professional review of the coins. Should anyone have further questions, they may judge the material for themselves or contact us before placing bids.
