On December 10, two specialist events spotlight premium pieces: Warwick & Warwick’s live webcast presents a mixed batch of historic sovereigns, rare medals and banknotes, while Sovereign Rarities in London adds a George III pattern half‑guinea and a Justinian II solidus to the mix. The following day, the Coin Cabinet’s Ancients 29 runs to December 11, showcasing a curated selection of ancient bullion and early medieval coins. Mid‑month, Aumann Auctions’ Winter Coin & Currency auction ends on December 15, bringing together world‑wide precious‑metal coins, plus a complete early U.S. commemorative set.

December 16 sees Quinn’s dedicated Coin Auction close, offering a broad spectrum from ancient Greek drachmas to contemporary bullion, while the Coin Cabinet’s Modern World Coin Auction also finishes, featuring Canadian maples, Australian dollar coins and a range of modern proof issues.

Rowley Auctions runs a longer‑term sale from December 11 through December 18, giving bidders extended access to U.S. and foreign modern issues alongside rare error pieces. The calendar peaks on December 20 with Ritter Auctions’ large‑scale coin collection, presenting a mixed bag of U.S., Canadian and world high‑value coins. Holiday‑season specials follow: Surrey Auctions’ December 26 coin sale opens to international bidders, Colonial Acres Coins’ two‑day Holiday Numismatic Premier Auction wraps on December 27, and Walker Auctions concludes its December 29 coin event, highlighting U.S. mint‑set series and limited‑edition commemoratives.
