Profile auction for collectors of orders, medals, tokens, badges, coins and coupons offered 88 million rubles (82%of the total estimate of trades). 56%of lots sold

Moscow Saturday November 17 was rich in auctions. One day there were four - three auctions of fine and decorative arts, and one auction of orders, medals and coins. I happened to be the last in the auction house "Znak." The action failed to glory. Auction House "Znak" holds its specialized trades three times a year and holds a big way. Directory each time becoming a heavy, if the February auction this year was put 424 lots, at the May - Lot 441, then held on November 17 in the hotel "Marriott Aurora" auction was suggested in 508 lots. And the selection each time things get interesting, as can be seen on the growth of total revenue from 50 million rubles in February this year to 88 million items for this Saturday.

auction lasted four hours, but the overall length is probably not playing in this auction such a big role, because almost no one (except your humble servant and the organizers, of course) do not hatch all the time in the gym. Besides a short break after the first two hundred lots of tea, coffee and croissants makes it easy to come to terms with the broad time frame. The number and composition of participants in the room constantly changing. Basically, of course, it was the collecting of the men age (30 and above). I provisionally identified two peak attendance: at the start of trading, the string of awards, the hall was more than 50 people, closer to the break became freer, and after the auction intermission "came running monetchiki", as one of my neighbors, and the hall was again almost full. And even if the room was not much of participants (the last string of commemorative medals, there were people on the strength of 6-8), bargaining continued and between them. For example, on the lot 470 ( medal "In honor of the 90th anniversary of Lenin's birth» ) in an almost empty room suddenly had a sudden burst of activity internally traded once 3-4, scattered the price 15 to 34 thousand. Sometimes, applicants for one lot (old friends, of course) will start a few rows of a heated argument about who the medal is more necessary and why the other will give. And yet, according to my calculations, purchases made in a hall of over 30 people. We felt that for faleristov and numismatists these trades - a real holiday, a reason to meet, socialize and buy something.

turn to statistics. Of 508 lots were sold to put up 286 (56%). Of these, 162 went to the gym lots, phone purchased Lot 51 and Lot 73 went to absentee buyers. Revenues reached 88.4 million rubles, which is 82%of the total basic assessment of 107.8 million rubles. Organizers of the auction can only congratulate with such a good result from their eighteenth auction (called «DUODEVICESIMA» in Latin means just "eighteen»).

Traditionally auction "Znak" was divided into ten thematic sections. The first and most expensive string «Order» (items 1-64) was sold by 55%. Gone are 35 orders, which brought a total of 44.5 million rubles ($ count, half of all revenue the auction). As many as eight awards overcame the bar one million rubles. The main intrigue of the section (and, perhaps, and the auction) was selling Order of St. Catherine of degree (Lot 3). It is the rare award of the Russian Empire. In the overall hierarchy of orders is second after the Order of St. Andrew. The Order was founded by Peter I in honor of the noble act of his wife Catherine, donated their jewelry to bribe the Turkish commander Mehmed Pasha (which ultimately helped the Russian army to break out). Order became the highest award for the female members of the European and Russian imperial family. Auction fight for the Order of the rank held at the appropriate level. Top lot at first missed because it was not possible to reach one of the contenders. Then established a relationship and especially back from lot number 3. Hall was watching party dispute in the room and the phone, from the baseline assessment of 15 million rubles, moving millions of steps, they reached up to 21 million rubles. Defeated party in the hall.

interesting competition was played as per Lot 18 - Statute of the Order of St. Vladimir . Grappled phone and a room to disperse the price from 350 to 550 rubles. And one more item in the string of awards far exceeded the estimate: «Badge for 25 years of irreproachable service» (Lot 61) 280000 dotorgovali to 600 thousand rubles. Again arguing party in the hall and telephone bidder. Completed the string of orders announced as top lot Freylinsky sign-cipher with the monogram of Empress Maria Alexandrovna, . This is an important women's award went to the hall for $ 4.2 million (basic assessment 3.2 million rubles).

for modest thong «Foreign Orders and Medals» (items 65-68), followed by domestic «Award Medal» (lots 69-110). Of the 42 lots that went under the hammer section 31, and the coin went in almost equal proportions between room, phone and absentee owners of rates (11, 8 and 12 lots, respectively). In the money as a result of thongs even exceeded the estimate (15 million rubles to 14 million total baseline assessment).

following string «signs and tokens of Imperial Russia» (lots 111-160) fell short of joyful statistics of their predecessors. Of the 50 imperial symbols and tokens bought almost half - 24. But the money is left not so much: 2000000 with a total base assessment Thong 8.2 million. Customers were without two top-lot section, valued at 900,000 rubles each - sign of the Don Cossack Host (Lot 135) and silver the job chain member of the city council of the city of Tobolsk Province Tara ( Lot 160). This string of virtually all lots more 100 thousand were left without buyers. The exception was mark the 100th Infantry Regiment Ostrovsky (Lot 132) , purchased by absentee rate for 650 thousand rubles.

more lower demand was «Signs and tokens USSR» (lots 161-204): of the 45 lots are bought 17. Revenues amounted to 1.25 million dollars from the expected 3. Even the icons of the CEC members and the Supreme Soviets of the Union Republics, usually off like hot cakes with multiple excess of estimate, this time was met coolly. Is that a sign member of the Supreme Soviet of the Tajik SSR (Lot 193) driven by the recovery in the hall and 25 thousand basic assessment came to 60,000 rubles a hammer.

C mixed results were thongs «Awards White movement and emigration» (lots 205-212) and «Objects of Russian antiquity» (lots 213-222). And no wonder: at the end of a second hour of trading, the hall was almost no one left, all thoughts were on a long coffee break. But after half an hour of rest enthusiasm of the audience has increased significantly. New strength in the face of entrenched numismatists attacked string «coins» (lots 223-350). Of the 128 lots were sold 76 (59%), while total revenue 18.35 million rubles again exceeded the total baseline assessment thong, which was 14.64 million rubles.

participants warmed up by the first lot - penny 1718 (Lot 223). For the unique pix like that has never been at a public auction, once fought 5-6 people in the room. Price for the penny stopped by 650 thousand (estimate: 280,000 rubles). Ornament Thong became 5 rubles 1759 (Lot 240). Gold coin of the era of Elizabeth's safety and his beautiful stamp glitter attracted several candidates who raised her price to 5.5 million rubles. Coin party got in the room.

trade for coins was often peculiar - it is possible to say that not even step and halting. Sometimes, when the step of struggle for the lot has already been set at a certain level (eg, 5000) on the phone or in the hall suddenly again lowered the rate to 2.5 or even up to two thousand. Auctioneer Andrew in this case most often went to meet and make such bets. And often, these are the rates in half step and won. Needless to say coin collectors know how to count money. For example, a silver coin 1 ½ ruble - 10 PLN 1836 (Lot 293) bargaining has worked so long and hard that someone even asked, not whether to help applicants Hall (three were at stake, 5 million rubles).

But if there is something really rare, there can be no stint and were sweeping the 10-thousand steps. So parted string coins in 1958 - RR 5, 10, 3, 2 and 1 penny (lots 323-327). Particularly well played the smallest coin - 3, 2 and 1 penny: the assessment of 10-15 thousand of these items have gone for 72, 95 and 100 thousand respectively. It was difficult to understand why these apparently for old coins is not such a struggle. For luck, my neighbor was very knowledgeable and passionate numismatist, who kindly explained to me that this is proof coins of the new design is not officially released into circulation. According to the expert, the estimate for these items was just ridiculous - in a conventional sale these coins are of 30 thousand rubles.

After Numismatic Hall Thong heavily thinned. The next section «Coupons and securities» (lots 351-389) went virtually unnoticed, but quite successful. Of the 39 lots bought 25, the money helped out three million rubles from 4 expected. Most booms quietly sold on absentee rates (15 lots), and almost all - in one hand. Almost did not arouse interest in the pre-revolutionary and Soviet postcards : This string of (lots 390-411) was the highest price of 12,000 rubles, and then part-time rate.

And, finally, the final section of the auction" Znak "17 November were « Commemorative medals » (lots 412-508). In the hall were the toughest 6-8 people, and besides, no extras, but the real actors (the activity hall mentioned above). Of the 97 sold out 62 commemorative medals, with 40 lots went to the room. For the money, too optimistic picture: 3.75 million rubles for the whole string when assessing its total 4.6 million. Top lot was a golden section medal "In honor of the coronation of Emperor Alexander II» (Lot 421). By absentee rate it bought for 1.2 million rubles.
