The Nelson Bunker Hunt Collection was a world-renowned assemblage of ancient art and numismatics auctioned by Sotheby's primarily between 1990 and 1991. Amassed by Texas oil magnate Nelson Bunker Hunt, the collection was liquidated following financial difficulties related to his attempt to corner the silver market in 1980.
The sale was divided into multiple highly specialized parts across New York and London. The catalogues are for three auctions

Part I: June 19, 1990 (New York) Featured "Highly Important" specimens.
Part II: June 2122, 1990 (New York).
