International Auction Galleries has been a leading Australian Auction House for 34 years, established in 1985 with a proven track record and an outstanding reputation for integrity and service. They have a strong ‘Vendor First’ attitude, treating each collection with care.

IAG’s commission rates are the most competitive in Australia, with NO SELLERS COMMISSIONS OR FEES (0% Commission), and NO other compulsory charges! With others charging up to 40% in total commissions, fees and charges, you will SAVE by selling with IAG. Lower fees means both Buyers and Sellers are the big winners in our auctions!

We specialise in high quality "boutique" style live and online Coin and Banknote Auctions with a focus on selling the rarest and the highest quality Coins and Banknotes, as well as unreserved lots from $1 and everything in between! Our Signature Live Floor auctions are a yearly numismatic highlight, attended by many of the biggest dealers and collectors in Australia. As of 2019, IAG has held more than 260 Live, Online and Postal Sales over 34 years and achieved well in excess of $125 Million in sales.

We also hold more Auctions than any other auction house, averaging an auction every 6 weeks. This means you have more options when it comes to selling, and have a shorter wait time for payment. Our auctions continue to set record prices, and we currently hold several pricing "World Records", including the highest price ever realised for any Australian Numismatic Item at $1,909,000 (this is also the highest price achieved for any item at any Numismatic Auction in Australia). In 2008 IAG sold 2 single items in consecutive sales for over $1,000,000 each. Our last 20 signature live auctions have broken countless world records, and we have sold in excess of $40,000,000 in these auctions alone!! (See Download section for our current or previous Catalogues and Prices Realised).

We are the number one Australian Numismatic Online Auction house, with regular Live Online auctions from 2012 (the first to run complete live Online auctions) and an online auction presence dating back to 2004! We have offered over a hundred thousand lots online since then to tens of thousands of clients across the world. Our proprietary in-house developed Live Online Internet Auction program is not only market leading, but completely FREE to bid through! As we have developed and run it ourselves, this means we can continue to expand and evolve in all aspects of Numismatics whilst continuing to provide innovative and better ways to buy and sell as the market evolves.

IAG's Numismatic Specialist and Head Auction Co-ordinator Paul is considered one of the leading numismatic experts on Australian Coin and Banknote Rarities, and has been National President of A.N.D.A. (The Australasian Numismatic Dealers Association) four times.
