Sunday Auction at Great Collections

GreatCollections was founded by Ian Russell as a marketplace to serve the rare coin and bullion community. The idea is that there are many places to buy and sell coins, though very few ensure that the transaction is conducted in a safe and secure manner while keeping both parties confidential. Auctions are held every Sunday.
