I am investigating ways to sell a large collection of Maundy money.
The collection was assembled by my father about twenty years ago and
includes a set of coins from every year except one that Maundy money
was issued between the years 1670 and 1990, about 230 sets in all.  I
believe that the coins are generally in good or very good condition
They are being kept in plastic sleeves in a large binder.  I am
considering consigning the collection to an auction company for sale
and I would appreciate
any advice on how best to do so.  Is there a single best company or
auction that people recommend?
Thanks.

Something of that size, ild approch Spinks

I would second that, and suggest also Baldwins, and or CoinCraft.  As a 
large collection, I would hope it would be sold in one piece, as such are 
quite difficult to assemble.

Thank you for your suggestion.  I have contacted Spink and another

Thank you for your thought.  I have contacted Spink and I will also
contact CoinCraft.

You might also contact a colleague of mine in Birmingham,
FORMAT at 121-643-2058
They put out lists on English coins and buy at auctions.
Please tell them I sent you.
