Six 1930s Australian pennies have come to auction following one being sold unreserved last month breaking an Australian record selling for $60,000 in an online auction.
“Following the news of the penny breaking a record at Lloyds Auctions, people were flooding our phones in hopes they had one of these rare pennies, and from this we have now seen six more come to auction,” Mr. Lee Hames, Chief Operations Officer for Lloyds Auctions commented “We had customers going through their draws following the news on the last penny sale and to the surprise of some custodians they found their own 1930s penny which we now have up for auction,”.
Mr Hames said that the six 1930s pennies going to auction this Sunday are expected to achieve far into a six figure sum collectively, with one being unreserved.
“Two of the pennies have a grading of very fine, that being better than the penny we sold last month, so we could possibly see these two pennies break another record,” Mr. Hames commented “The market for pennies and numismatics is really strong at the moment and people don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to make the best of it”.
