A very rare Laureate Head Type I Proof, the first Half Sovereign design of George IV's reign, by Benedetto Pistrucci. The type was soon withdrawn because gilded sixpences were being passed off as it, leaving surviving examples of the original design particularly scarce. Marsh 403A, rated R3.
An extremely rare Type I Sydney Mint Half Sovereign, one of the finest graded for the date. From the Mint's earliest years, with James Wyon's distinctive filleted portrait of Queen Victoria: a stunning example of this important early Australian gold issue.
Tightly wrapped in an inverted brown Chubb wrapper. Featuring the distinctive red Flanders poppy, this inaugural Australian coloured circulating issue was distributed through RSL clubs as part of the 2012 Poppy Appeal.

My experience with Robbie and the team at Copelands Roberts was great. They were very professional, helpful and honest. The whole process was made seamless and uncomplicated. Thanks again 🙂
Very professional Auction Site with a fantastic choice of items. Easy to use interface with good descriptions, approx valuations and clear photos of lot items. Great post auction communication and instruction. Highly recommended.
Very efficient and easy process! Had a substantial collection of coins picked up from home, catalogued, sold and the proceeds paid to me all within a few weeks. Highly professional and knowledgeable. Thanks very much!
As the Executor of a deceased family member's estate, we were tasked with selling an expansive and diverse coin collection. We had no previous experience of the numismatic world and after researching the collection's contents, we approached various auction houses to discuss the best way of selling it. We felt Robbie showed a genuine interest in the collection. He explained the auction process to us in a personable way and answered all our questions. This, together with his offer, convinced us to use Copeland Roberts. We never looked back. Robbie kept us well informed throughout the process, he always replied promptly to any queries and fitted in with our requirements. We are very happy with the results and highly recommend Copeland Roberts to any new sellers.
I’ve now consigned with this company three times, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. The entire consignment process has been seamless from start to finish. The secure and straightforward drop-off is followed by a pre-auction confirmation email, then a final email with your lot number allocations. From there, the excitement begins—it’s genuinely satisfying to watch your coins being bid on during the auction. Once the auction concludes, you receive a post-auction sales confirmation, and then comes the best part: getting paid for your sales. The team is fantastic, communication is excellent throughout, and the whole process is professional and stress-free. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell coins through auction
For a long time now I have bought and sold coins through a number of major auction houses. More recently, I was dissatisfied with the outcome of some of my coin purchases and sales but more importantly with the customer service. I went looking for any other options and came across Copeland Roberts. Most of my dealings have been with Robbie, who I find to be very personable, very knowledgeable and the epitome of customer service. I have bought and sold many coins through Copeland Roberts since May 25 and my dealings with Robbie, Gil, Andy and Tate have always been friendly, professional and mutually accommodating. Robbie’s casual but hands on approach, his communication skills and his coin classifications and valuations have always been on the money. It has been an absolute pleasure throughout all my dealings with Robbie and his staff and I will continue to buy and sell coins through Copeland Roberts. They are a growing enterprise with global reach and a clear direction of their goals. Customer focused, professional and subject matter experts. What more can anyone ask or expect. I strongly recommend Copeland Roberts to all numismatics whether buying or selling as the Premium Auction House in Australia.
