I assume this is the biggest set of this type of British India coinage ever auctioned together - am curious to see the ending prices for such a large set. Will money be diluted by such a large variety of coins? Will there be one giant bidder who will snap up 50% of the items? I, like many here, am hoping for just one-two items...

I must say  that the saleroom's auction interface is terrible. The best I have seen by far is that of Heritage - it makes you feel like spending money :)

Those are the questions that many collectors are asking. The catalog for Part 2 which will contain the patterns and major rarities of the collection will be out before Part 1 starts. So hopefully its offering is massive enough to accommodate the very large (rich) collectors. Which will allow smaller collectors like me to take some shots and getting a few coins in part 1.
