Heidrun Höhn had been passionately interested in numismatics since her childhood, and fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 offered her the opportunity to use her great expertise and the contacts she had made as head of numismatics at the GDR’s state organization for art trading based in Leipzig and to set up her own business.

The first of many successful coin auctions took place as early as June 17-18, 1991, when the catalog featured no fewer than 2,578 items. Since then, we have held two major international auctions with about 4,000 items going under the hammer on each occasion.

Since 2015, we have also regularly staged e-live auctions. These are auctions that take place exclusively online. You can bid live in real time or simply follow the auction online. On offer is the entire numismatic range from our catalogs.

Lower-priced items and lower denomination coins ideal for expanding your collection are also offered for sale. Today you can find the Leipzig coin shop and auction Heidrun Höhn in Nikolaistraße 25 with a generous sales area of 70 m² and further office space on 260 m². This makes us the largest coin auction house in Central Germany and one of the ten largest in Germany.

The company’s owner Manfred Höhn works alongside his daughters Christina and Saskia, and with seven other members of staff. Christina and Saskia have been working in the company since they graduated from high school and have received a thorough training in numismatics in parallel to their university courses in history and business administration. As well as the three members of the Höhn family, our team also benefits three other expert numismatists. We are also particularly fortunate to have ample space for an extensive specialist library directly on our premises.
