HOT SUMMER AUCTION AT GERT MÜLLER!
At our 127th auction we saw enormous international interest in stamps and coins which resulted in a large number of unexpectedly high top prices. In addition to the bidders present in the auction room who had travelled from Germany and various European countries, well over 500 registered online bidders from all over the world ensured a very high price level for the collections, estates and single lots of philately and numismatics entrusted to us.
The highlight was once again the large auction of stamp collections, lots and estates on Saturday, which lasted from 10 a.m. to almost 9 p.m. The floor and online bidders engaged in numerous extraordinary bidding battles, with the estimated prices often doubling and multiplying up to 15 times the starting price. For example, a divided estate from Rhineland-Palatinate fetched 26,000 euros (lots 1-1G, starting price: €8,000), German collections from Saxony-Anhalt fetched €31,380 (lot 1H-1P, starting price: €9,200), a used collection of German colonies achieved an enormous €25,000 (lot 2, starting price: €8,000), another collection of German colonies fetched €9,500 (lot 2A, starting price: €4,000), a used collection of the German Empire fetched €13,000 (lot 2B, starting price: €5,000), an estate from northern Germany fetched an impressive €55,000 (lots 3G-3Z, starting price: €18,500), a specialised collection of Danzig covers and cards was sold in its entirety and fetched €14,500 (lots 8J-8S, starting price: €6,500), a collection of Bund plate errors fetched €8,300 (lots 11P-11R, starting price: €3,500), an estate from Hesse fetched €15,600 (lots 2500-2502, starting price: €5,000). An original estate from the Saarland, which had been stored by the heirs since the 1970s, was particularly sought after. This collection, which we divided up, achieved a completely unexpected high hammer price of €41,510 (lots 2520-2531, starting price: €7,900). In addition to the extensive estates and well-developed German collections, international philately collections and holdings were particularly sought after. For example, a collection of Czechoslovakian mini-sheets achieved a hammer price of €7,500 (lot 6H, starting price: €2,000), and the starting prices for China were also often significantly sold by up to 13 times the starting price.
The extensive range of coins was in high demand among numerous international collectors, dealers and investors and was almost completely sold, often with considerable bidding. For example, a collection of coins and medals fetched €21,000 (lot 4000, starting price: €15,000), a collection of post-war French coins fetched €8,000 (lot 4012, starting price: €5,000), and a collection of modern commemorative coins from the People’s Republic of China achieved €16,000 (lot 4156, starting price: €8,000), an extensive collection of coins focusing on issues from the Federal Republic of Germany fetched an unexpectedly high €19,000 (lot 4160, starting price: €5,000), a rich estate of coins from Württemberg with gold and silver coins achieved an extraordinary €76,000 (lot 4249, starting price: €50,000), and a collection of GDR commemorative coins fetched €6,200 (lot 4250, starting price: €2,000).
Exceptional hammer prices were also achieved in the miscellaneous category. A collection of model railways fetched €22,000 (lot 4232, starting price: €20,000), another collection of model railways fetched €30,000 (lot 4233, starting price: €20,000) and an officer’s estate from World War II fetched €4,400 (lot 4245, starting price: €1,200).
The total turnover of this auction has so far exceeded 2.5 million euros, which we would never have thought possible beforehand. Up to now over 470 bids between 1,000 and 76,000 euros have been successful. This demonstrates the exceptional international purchasing power of our clientele.

FANTASTIC RESULTS!
Our 125th Jubilee auction, which took place from 12th to the 15th of February, was a resounding success with a particularly strong global turnout with collectors, dealers and investors from 72 countries taking part and generating numerous unexpectedly high record prices with many estimates far exceeded. For example, a small sheet collection of Czechoslovakia realised an incredible € 4,600 at a starting price of € 100. The estate of a decades-long customer and friend of our company with a focus on the German colonies, sensibly divided into 76 collections and individual lots, was completely sold and realised the enormous hammer price of € 217,545 against an estimate of € 89,350. Rare mint stamps of the German Empire and the German colonies fetched hammer prices that were in some cases far above the catalogue values in the Michel catalogue. In addition coins and banknotes were also, as usual, highly sought and were sold almost in their entirety, with the estimates often being significantly exceeded. For the first time in our company’s history, we were able to auction off all the jewellery on offer. A diamond ring with an estimated price of € 2,500 realised an enormous hammer price of € 8,000 thanks to the bids of three determined enthusiasts.
When selling your stamps, coins, banknotes, postcards, letters and jewellery, you too can take advantage of our worldwide connection to major collectors, dealers and investors as well as our loyal German clientele who have been our business partners and friends for many years.
