The highlight of Auction 300 was lots 2753 to 2780 – the best group of New Zealand error banknotes available at one sale. The room activity was quite frantic, supported by a strong book of absentee bids. All these lots were sold to room bidders at exceptional prices. Other consistent periods of strong auction room activity occurred in sessions dedicated to decimal coins, Australian gold, predecimal coins, world coins and world banknotes.
