150th sesquicentennial 0

[Zebo]

Interesting sesquicentennial remembrance piece struck by the Tower Mint marking the beginning of Baldwins coin shop and later auction house. A high relief strike. They also published a book to celebrate the feat featuring 150 of the most significant pieces sold.

like um or not - it’s still worth mentioning.

Isn't Baldwin's owned by someone else now?

There is a write-up on this site profiling some (or maybe all) of Royle Baldwin's South African collection, patterns and Union proofs.

2013 – Baldwin’s became part of the Stanley Gibbons Group Plc, teaming up with the world’s longest established rare stamp merchant.

2014 – Baldwin’s relocated to new premises at 399 Strand in the heart of London.

2017 – In January of 2017 Baldwins partnered with St James Auction’s in order to deliver 14 sales each year in New York, Hong Kong and London. These auctions have featured coins, bank notes, literature, tokens and medals.

2021 – After the refurbishment of the Auction Room at 399 Strand, Baldwins Auctions is once again housed within the same building as our numismatic experts and new coin room. The first Auction (number 103) took place on October 6th.

St. James and Baldwins now conduct their own auctions once again. Bad marriage?
