IMPORTANT NOTE - The Buyer's Premium is now $20 per lot or 20% of the hammer price, whichever amount is greater. However, we have also reduced opening bids on lower value items to adjust for the new Buyer's Premium structure, so all-in costs are still very close to what they were in the past. This change in fee structure will allow us to continue to offer coins valued at less than $100 in addition to our higher value offerings. Contact us with any questions.

There are two distinct types of Wahshutawa (Vahshugava): Kam-21 with Chinese "yuan" on the reverse (average weight 3.5g, about 23mm) and Kam-36 with Sogdian "prn" (glory) instead of the Chinese "yuan" (average weight 1.8g, about 16mm).
