Overview
St James’s Auctions
St James’s Auctions was established in 2004 as the auction division of Knightsbridge Coins, a thriving business founded in the mid-seventies by Stephen Fenton. Based in the prestigious quarter of St James’s in the heart of London, St James’s Auctions has since rapidly overtaken competitors and grown into the position it is in today, one of the UK’s most reputable auction houses for coins, medallions, tokens, paper money and related objects.
