As the announcement was listed well in advance, just a reminder that the annual meeting of the Oriental Numismatic Society in the Netherlands, will be held on Saturday 19 October 2013.
For the program see the earlier announcement above.

[Figleaf]

Somehow, other obligations keep getting in the way.

Will there be an auction again that our members can participate in?

Peter

[Oesho]

Yes, there is an auction in which the WoC-members can also participate. For the auction list see here. All lots are linked to the the ZENO-website
The estimates are reasonably modest and bidding starts at about 75-80% of the estimate, provided no more then 2 postal bids have been received. An excellent opportunity to obtain nice oriental coins for a decent price. Moreover the commission charged is only 5% !!!
This time we have also a large selection of books. An opportunity to obtain some already 'out of print' publications. 
Let members try and they will definitely not regret it.

[THCoins]

Just tried, everything now also works again here ! Thanks.

[akona20]

Have the results of the auctions been posted?

[Oesho]

As I was busy the weekend with the meeting as well as social activities, I just could started to work out the auction results.
Hopefully later to-day or to-morrow I can put the results on line.
But is good to say that it was again a successful meeting. A couple of interesting and well prepared presentations. The meeting was attended by almost 30 people.

[akona20]

Thank you sir. I am keen about one coin.

[Oesho]

I tried to attach a Word-file with the results, but it's too heavy.

Edit: prices realised.

Hi Jan,

Thanks for that. I have one researcher who will be a very happy man. I am surprised at how cheap it sold for.

[Oesho]

Arthur, The ONS-auction is a Society's auction for members and sincere collectors, completely done by volunteers. Prices are very decent and a commission of 5% is not commercial either. It is basically for promoting Oriental numismatics and providing members the possibility to obtain single coins, which commercial auction houses hardly can do.

Therefore let people watch next year when the ONS-meeting will be held on Saturday 18 October 2014. Venue will still be decided, but the meeting incl. an auction will continue.

BTW, unsold lots may still be obtainable at the reserve price (approx. 75-80% of the estimate for coins and at 90-95% for the books).
Lots can be seen at: http://onsnumis.org/auctions/auct2013.pdf

[akona20]

I really urge people to look at this annual auction. It supports a good cause and the prices are very reasonable. And there is guarantee of correct attribution.
