References identify the piece
Spink numbers for British coins, RIC or Sear for ancients, Pick numbers for world banknotes: the reference tells a bidder exactly which type and variety is on offer.

A numismatic catalogue your bidders can read like a reference book
Numismatic bidders bid on references, grades and details they can verify from the photographs. Auctionomy gives each coin, note and medal the fields to state them, on your own branded site.
How your bidders buy
What your bidders read for
Grades are a shared language
Bidders read Fine, Very Fine and Extremely Fine, or a numerical grade on the 1 to 70 scale for encapsulated coins and notes. Raw and slabbed pieces are bought differently, and the lot must say which it is.
Medals sell on their naming
A campaign medal is bought on the name, number and unit it was issued to, whether the naming is officially impressed, and what the research shows. Edge bruises and contact marks are stated, not hidden.
