Morton & Eden

Biography

Established in 2001, Morton & Eden Ltd. is situated in Central London, and specializes in the sale of collectors' coins of all periods, historical medals, and all things numismatic. They have partnered with Invaluable.com for 86 auctions, to date.

Morton & Eden caters to a robust cosmopolitan audience, satisfying the most superlative and eclectic of tastes in their burgeoning client base. Regularly exceeding the high estimates of its items, the auction house recently sold a Greek tetradrachm (460 BC) for £74,400, far above its top estimate. At the same auction -- which ultimately garnered over £1 million in sales across a wide spectrum of the numismatics market -- a Russian 5 kopeks (1812) fetched nearly four times its top estimate, at £46,800, and a cast of the renowned renaissance medal portraying Roman emperor Caracalla in his youth brought in over two times its high estimate, at £16,800. Additionally, a Victoria Cross collection of medals achieved the record price at auction for any British medal group, at £408,000.
