SELLING MEDALS BY PRIVATE TREATY

Although sale at auction of orders, medals and decorations is very successful, some clients still lean towards sale by private treaty. We at Spink are most interested in the straight purchase of both collections and individual items and will be pleased to discuss such arrangements.

BUYING MEDALS ON THE SPINK WEBSITE

The Spink website goes from strength to strength, with items from £10 to £10,000.

If you are unsure whether we hold an email address for you, please email your details to enquiry@spink.com, stating that you wish to receive medal stock updates from Spink.
