On October 20, 2022, Künker will sell Roman and Byzantine coins from the Mark and Lottie Salton Collection when Part IV of this important cabinet crosses the auction block in their Sale 377 in Osnabrück, Germany. Additional Salton coins will be featured in their E-Live Premium Auction 378 on the following day, October 21. Stack’s Bowers Galleries and Künker were chosen by the Saltons to disperse their holdings, many thousands of coins, chiefly from Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire and Europe from the medieval period to the 20th century.
Stack’s Bowers Galleries presented Part I of the cabinet on January 16, 2022, as part of the Official Auction at the New York International Numismatic Convention. Part II was offered by Künker this past March, while Stack’s Bowers Galleries included Part III in their recently completed Summer Global Showcase Auction. Additional coins from the Salton Collection will be featured in the Stack’s Bowers Galleries January 2023 Official Auction at the New York International Numismatic Convention.
The late Mark and Lottie Salton had each escaped from Nazi Germany in the 1930s, eventually finding their way to the United States where they met and married. At their behest, proceeds from the sale of the collections will benefit equally three organizations committed to the remembrance of the victims of the Holocaust and to ensuring that their fates will never be repeated: the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the American Society for Yad Vashem, and the Leo Baeck Institute.
We invite you to peruse Part IV of the Salton Collection here.
