In a notice posted on its website on March 24, 2025, the auction house Elsen announced the results of its Auction 161, held on March 21 and 22. According to the notice, almost all lots were sold. Shipping will begin after all invoices are prepared, which usually takes two weeks, in the order payments are received.
Correction (Oct 13, 2026): We corrected the headline, summary and body throughout to match the source. The source says almost all lots were sold, so we removed the previous claims of "substantial unsold inventory," a "purchasing power crisis" and a "bifurcated market," as well as unsupported passages on individual results, error coins and auction history. We also made clear that the source is a notice dated March 24, 2025. The previous headline was "Elsen Auction 161: Unsold Lots Reveal Collector Purchasing Power Crisis."
