Noble Auctions Spotlight Rare Medals, Banknotes and Estate Treasures
Noble auction hero banner

The upcoming noble auction calendar shows a clear shift toward broader, internationally sourced collections and flexible bidding formats. The first event, the Noble & Noteworthy Fine Auction in San Rafael, California, wraps up on October 19. Organizers have arranged multiple preview windows—morning and afternoon sessions on the day of the sale, plus extended previews the week before—giving collectors ample time to examine the eclectic mix of estate items, from historic furniture to decorative arts. Bidders can participate in person or online, and the venue’s consignment desk remains open daily for those looking to place new pieces on the market.

Following that, Noble Numismatics’ Sale 140 concludes on November 28 in Sydney’s Michael Crouch Room at the State Library of New South Wales. This auction distinguishes itself with a strong emphasis on historic currency and related ephemera, featuring Australian, British, world and ancient pieces, as well as banknotes, medals and a distinguished Victoria Cross awarded to Robert Beatham. The preview period runs from November 19 to November 21, allowing collectors to view the items before the five‑day bidding window opens. Bids may be submitted online, in person, or via absentee forms, and consignors have until late September to secure valuations for inclusion.

Both auctions illustrate a growing trend: the blending of traditional collectible categories with modern, accessible bidding channels. Fine Estate’s schedule of additional noble auctions on November 16 and December 14 reinforces the demand for regular, high‑profile sales throughout the fall and early winter. Meanwhile, Noble Numismatics continues to attract interest in historically significant medals and high‑value awards, underscoring a collector appetite for items with proven provenance and military heritage. Together, these events highlight a vibrant market where estate treasures and historic monetary artifacts coexist, offering a diverse array of opportunities for seasoned collectors and new enthusiasts alike.
