Colonial Acres is preparing to launch its 142nd Premier Auction later this month, with more than 1,850 lots of fresh material and Canadian rarities crossing the block. The three-session sale runs Sept. 26–28, but collectors won’t have to wait that long to get a close look at the highlights – lot viewing will be available at the National Postage Stamp & Coin Show on Sept. 6–7 at the Hilton Mississauga/Meadowvale.
Among the standout offerings is a six-piece set of 1912–14 $5 and $10 “premium hand-selected” gold coins originally released by the Royal Canadian Mint in 2013. Scarce Victorian and Edwardian issues also feature prominently, including an 1880H “Obverse 3” five-cent in Mint State-65, an 1884 10-cent in Extremely Fine-45, and a 1915 key-date 10-cent in Mint State-66, one of just nine known.
The auction’s second session showcases some of Canada’s rarest Victorian quarters, including the 1880H “Narrow 0” 25-cent in Mint State-64, the 1880H “Wide 0” 25-cent in Mint State-63 – the finest known example – and the elusive 1889 25-cent in Mint State-62, struck in a mintage of only 66,340. A scarce 1890H 50-cent coin in Extremely Fine-45, a key date with just 20,000 struck, adds further weight to the sale.
In addition to coins, Colonial’s September event will feature a robust selection of banknotes, including specimen issues, radars, errors, and Newfoundland material, plus medals, militaria, proofs, world rarities, and vintage bullion. Auctioneers Kirk Parsons and Janae Kroondijk say the wide-ranging lineup ensures something for collectors at every level.
Collectors attending the National Postage Stamp & Coin Show will have a opportunity to preview these lots in person before the actual online auction Sept. 26–28 at auctions.colonialacres.com.
