“I wanted to reach out to you to simply say thank you for your wonderful service - along with the support of Lawrences for the sale of my Grandads coin collection. The brochure was just wonderful. My Grandad would have been so proud that his coins would be included in such a prestigious listing and be sold by such a well respected company. The sale of the coins has meant that I have kept my promise to my Grandad by selling the coins to a collector and investing the monies received. The monies received have been invested into my property as an over payment on the mortgage. How very special. Thank you so much - it’s been a wonderful relationship and I will highly recommend yourself and Lawrences to all.”
