Past and present

After we started our coin business in December 1973, we organised our first coin auction on October 26th 1974.
Now we are 50 auction days down the road.
From the beginning there was always great interest from the collecting community.
The first auction venue in the Rubenshof on the Groenplaats was way to small and a number of people were never able to get in.
Since then, we have always tried to make sure that the hall would be big enough, but with peeks of more then 240 collectors present it did happen that some people had to stand up.
The number of people who participate by mail keeps continously rising and nowadays is about double of the people in the room.
After having the auctions in the Century Hotel, the Eurotel, the De Keyser Hotel, the Quality Inn (that changed its name to Scandic Crown with in between an auction at Campo & Campo we have been since 1996 the guests of Auction House Bernaerts.
The technical side doesn't stand still either and for some time now you can also find our catalogue on our site www.vanalsenoy.com On this site, apart from what you already have in the printed catalogue, you can find more illustrations and in colour. Also you can find the detailed list of a number of the larger lots.
We hope that we can welcome you at our next auction
