SPINK SINGAPORE AUCTION REALIZED PRICES AND HIGHLIGHTS 16TH AUGUST 2015

Spink auction considered as the mother of all auctions that provide customers with a diverse array of extremely rare banknotes from the Straits Settlements, British Malaya, Malaysia as well as other exceptional foreign banknotes. There are so many rare items that you won't see in any other auction houses and this year saw the return of Spink after an absent of 6 years. With all the prominent collectors and dealers participated in the auction it is bound to be the real test as to where the market is on upper end rarities and the realized prices are expected to surge beyond expectation naturally.


The remarkable performance for Straits Settlements and British Malaya banknotes has proven that collecting numismatics is all about collecting a piece of history and it is now making a come back. However there are a few mind-blowing realized prices for modern Malaysia banknotes that you try to convince yourself to believe.
