TOP PRICES IN THE SPRING AUCTION!
The 122nd Gert Müller Auction, which took place from 22 to 25 May, was a great success. Thanks to our large group of international buyers we were able to achieve a large number of outstanding results with hammer prices of up to 19 times the estimated price. For example, a collection of Zeppelin covers realised €7,000 (lot 1, estimate €2,000), a collection of German World II Occupation issues realised an enormous € 20,000 (lot 1E, estimate € 8,000), a special collection of Federal Republic of Germany fetched € 5,200 (lot 1N, estimate € 1,000), a cover lot achieved an outstanding € 22,000 (lot 1Y, estimate € 8,000), two miniature sheets of the People’s Republic of China fetched € 7,000 (lot 2A, estimate € 2,000), an all world collection fetched € 7,000, (lot 2B, estimate € 3,000), a collection of SBZ hand cancellations fetched € 9,000 (lot 4P, estimate € 3,000 ), a special collection SBZ fetched € 23,000, (lot 2199, estimate € 10,000 ), an old liquidated estate fetched € 14,830 (lots 2200 – 2207, estimates €3,600) to name but a few examples. Particularly sought-after were fine country and specialised collections, entire estates, cover lots, collections of Asian countries, especially China, as well as older Germany and German colonies. The enormous demand was particularly evident in the large number of online bidders who bid live at the auction alongside the bidders in the auction room. As a result, the large collection auction on Saturday lasted from 10.00 am to 8.30 pm. We also experienced incredibly high demand for the collections and lots of coins on offer which realised a total hammer price of €729,440. Only two lots with a total hammer price of €500 remained unsold. Here, too, some of the collections realised multiple estimates. An estate, most of which was collected in the 1950s, realised a hammer price of €50,000.
If you would also like to arrange the disposal of your stamps, covers, postcards, coins and jewellery the upcoming international Gert Müller auction, which will take place from 22 – 24 August 2024, offers the ideal opportunity to do so. We have already received outstanding consignments which will once again attract a large international audience. For example, an outstanding Black Forest consignment containing excellent collections of stamps and covers from all over the world, will be divided into suitable lots. An overseas collection in almost 500 ring binders will also be auctioned. In the coin section a large collection of numerous silver and gold coins in 42 moving boxes will be offered.
Our auctions in August are among the most highly regarded and strongest auctions in the sector in Germany. Due to the high international demand our auction results for both stamps and coins are currently excellent. We will be happy to advise you in advance by telephone and visit you personally at home.

BUYERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD!
The 121st Gert Müller Auction, which took place from February 21st – 24th 2024, was particularly characterised by a huge turnout of motivated buyers from all five continents. We saw a record participation of a total of 499 registered online bidders, which led to numerous unexpectedly high hammer prices. For example, a rare Zara error from the “BENEDIKT” collection fetched a record price of € 28,000 (lot 2166, estimate: € 18,000). A rare multiple franking from France of the 10 C. Napoleon in a block of four fetched € 10,500 (lot 3193, estimate: € 5,000). As usual, substantial collections were particularly sought after, often achieving spectacular hammer price of up to 26 times of the estimate. For example, a specialized collection from Baden realised € 70,000 (lot 1, estimate: € 40,000), an old estate from Rhineland-Palatinate with collections from all over the world fetched € 98,470 (lots 1A – 2B, estimate: € 47,800) and a collection of Germany achieved € 15,000 (lot 2P, estimate: € 8,000). The focus of our international clientele was a consignment from the Netherlands with a focus on China and Korea, which was sold completely and realised an incredible hammer price totalling €134,620 (lots 13-15D, estimate: €27,600). Numerous bidders from various Asian countries including China, Japan and Korea were also involved in this impressive result. A collection People’s Republic of China from 1949/69 fetched impressive € 13,000 (lot 13L, estimate: € 2,000), a collection Korea Empire fetched € 5,800 (lot 13U, estimate: € 1,000), a lot of covers from South Korea fetched € 5,000 (lot 14, estimate: € 500). A mint collection of the People’s Republic of China from 1949/2020 almost complete realised enormous € 75,000 (lot 2499, estimate: € 40,000), a lot of the People’s Republic of China fetched € 4,800 (lot 2507, estimate: € 500), to name just a few examples. Numerous collections and estates from Germany and Europe were also in high demand and often realised astonishingly high increases over the estimates. A total of 143 consignors entrusted us with their treasures for this auction, of which 121 were able to sell their entire consignment.
There was also a strong demand for coins, with a very extensive and substantial range of lots, collections and estates. For example, a collection of commemorative coins of the Federal Republic of Germany including gold coins realised a hammer price of €49,000, a collection of coins of the German Empire fetched €7,000 (lot 6682, estimate: €2,000), a collection of Russian coins fetched €9,000 (lot 6661, estimate: €5,000), a coin estate fetched €11,000 (lot 6663, estimate: €5,000), to name just a few examples. In the numismatic arera, too, almost all consignors were able to realise a complete sale.
