Downie’s Australian Coin Auctions

Australia's Oldest Numismatic Auction House

 Conducting our first auction in 1963, Downie's Australian Coin Auctions is the longest established coin and banknote auctioneers in Australia. Over that time, we have accumulated all the expertise and experience necessary to establish a reputation as one of the industry leaders. World renowned for the professional way in which we conduct our public sales, Downie’s Australian Coin Auctions provide peace of mind to anyone seeking to consign part or all of their collection.





Perfectly placed!

 Found in the heart of the Melbourne CBD, Downie&rsquos Australian Coin Auctions offices are situated above our Block Arcade store in Elizabeth St. At this most central location, we are perfectly positioned to accept consignments from collectors wishing to sell. Our auctions are now held at our headquarters in Abbotsford, Melbourne - minutes from the city and a convenient, comfortable location for collectors.

 Fierce competition!

 Downie's public sales, always attracting a strong presence on the auction floor as well as extensive postal and Internet bidding, bring together buyers and vendors from three to five times per year. An extensively illustrated catalogue is produced for every auction - a consistently professional production that is as highly valued as a source of numismatic information as much as the vehicle for public sales.

Expansion!

 2003 saw the celebration of our 40th anniversary of public auctions. Downie’s Australian Coin Auctions has come a long way in those forty years, but we still maintain the same honest, professional approach, and same unwavering commitment to the art of numismatics that we began with all those years ago.

As part of the ongoing expansion of the auction operation, this website now offers a full description of every lot in every Downie’s sale! Complete with many illustrations, this is the perfect venue for you to keep your finger on the pulse of numismatics in this country.
