Baldwin's of St James's

St James's Auctions was established in 2004 as the auction division of Knightsbridge Coins, a thriving business founded in the mid-1970s by Stephen Fenton. Based in the prestigious quarter of St James's in the heart of London, St James's Auctions rapidly grew into one of the UK’s most reputable auction houses for coins, medallions, tokens, paper money and related objects.

In January 2017, St. James’s Auctions began a new venture with Baldwin’s Auctions – a division of A H Baldwin & Sons Ltd that, having been founded in 1872, was one of the largest and longest established numismatic dealers and auction houses in the world. It was decided to merge the two names, forming a new auction company called Baldwin’s of St. James’s.

Our philosophy at Baldwin's of St James's is that specialised attention, personal service and a bespoke marketing strategy will ensure that each lot and each consignment achieves the very best results for our consignors. Our presentation is among the best in the business with state-of-the-art photography and realistic estimates.
