Legally I don't think that is allowed... conflict of interest ...

nope

I'd be more worried that an employee intentionally deceived a naive vendor that the coins were nothing special, had the coins put in the jewellery section with no obverse images and as low estimate batch lots (would make a casual observer think they must be cleaned rubbish to be so red). Then on the day have a friend/relative buy them up cheaply.
Has happened before.
