| Welcome to our website! Our homepage gives you an idea of what we do. Some pages are fresh, others a bit out of date but if you see something you are interested in, then contact us. Revamp of website At long last, we're having a redesign of the website (it's been a New Year's Resolution for several years!) so there will be a completely new offering in February 2012. If you're not already on our emailing list, contact us to be alerted when new material goes online. The material on the current website will not necessarily be archived on the new one, although we hope to maintain our system of archiving the postal auctions.
Please also look on eBay for offerings there from us, especially coins - search on our name: simmonsgallery

Coin dealing in the historical sense is our main business, chiefly World Coins, tokens, commemorative and prize medals (not military really although we have bought and sold some of the classic sets) and weights For these we prefer to deal on a one-to-one basis with people if we can, either face to face at shows, or by (e)mail, rather than putting out only fixed price lists. We always need to buy in order replenish our stock and also accept consignments for our specialist auctions. Please contact us first before sending any goods. |
Auctions We hold postal auctions for weights, medals and tokens. Our next auction is for historical medals MB58 - contact us to be alerted when the catalogue is online. Then we follow with Tokens and Weights and Scales - Easter and Summer 2012 respectively. Consignments welcomed!

London Coin Fairs We organised these for nearly 30 years and they're still going strong, even though we've passed the baton on to new management. The next London Coin Fair is on 11 February 2012, Holiday Inn WC1. It's the UK show all the dealers and collectors put in their diary and visit. Over 70 dealers exhibiting mainly from UK but a few also from USA, Canada and Europe | Medals Gradually we've been adding more pages to the website including the War and Peace medal pages. These are not war medals in the sense of gallantry medals but commemoratives and awards for charity work, favours and fundraisers. Medals are offered subject to being unsold (we do sell a lot!) These pages will give you an indication of the type of material we deal in, both buying and selling.
