Spink & Son (established 1772) are an auction and collectables company known principally for their sales of coins, banknotes, stock and bond certificates and medals. They also deal in philatelic items, wine and spirits, and other collectable items.
History
John Spink founded a goldsmith's and pawnbroker's business near Lombard Street, London, in 1666. The Great Fire of London caused a temporary relocation before Spink returned to the rebuilt Lombard Street. In 1770 the firm moved to 2 Gracechurch Street where they traded in jewellery and coins. The firm of Spink and Son was established in 1772.[1]
In the 1850s, Spink started to deal in oriental art and in the 1880s they bought the Soho Mint and began to design and manufacture medals.[1]
Publishing
The company has published the Numismatic Circular since 1893 which it says is "the oldest continually published coin and medal catalogue".[1]
The company is particularly known for its annual Coins of England price guide and handbook, the 50th edition of which is to be published in 2015. In 1996, Spink acquired the Seaby imprint, publishers of the Seaby Coin & Medal Bulletin.
People
The chairman and CEO is Olivier D. Stocker.[2]
