Stack's Bowers Galleries August 2024 Global Showcase Auction Achieves Spectacular Results
Sep 02, 2024 at 03:02 am
For more than nine decades, Stack’s Bowers Galleries has achieved worldwide acclaim for its presentations of rare coins, medals, tokens and other numismatic issues.
Highlighting Rarities Night on Monday, August 12 and continuing through Friday, August 16, the Stack’s Bowers Galleries August 2024 Global Showcase Auction featured an incredible offering of United States coins, medals, tokens and other numismatic issues. The auction produced spectacular results for its consignors, garnering worldwide attention from numismatic enthusiasts on its way to nearly $50 million in total prices realized. (All prices include the buyer’s fee.)
Across the live and internet-only sessions featuring United States material, strong prices were realized in every category from numismatic Americana to early American copper and colonial issues, type coins, silver and gold. Comprising over a dozen named collections and many additional consignments, the offering was one of the largest in Stack’s Bowers Galleries’ history. Specialized sessions included Part VI of the Sydney F. Martin Collection and the Fairmont Collection—Sussex Set, offerings that attracted strong bids from connoisseurs of early American medals and colonial coinage and rare date gold coins, respectively.
Additional sessions featured items from the Cold Spring Harbor Type Set, the Great Pacific Collection, The Tom Hyland Collection, the Knohl Collection, the PentaMint™ Collection, the Senator Platt Family Collection, the Reich Family Collection, the Lucius S. Ruder Collection, the Srotag Collection, and the Walden Collection, alongside other quality consignments. Many coins had been off the market for decades, while other holdings were carefully assembled more recently by selecting top quality specimens that appeared on the market.
“Demand from collectors and dealers remains very strong,” said Brian Kendrella, President of Stack’s Bowers Galleries. “Rarities Night started the week with tremendous excitement and the action remained intense throughout all sessions. Our world class professionals, working with consignors, brought some great properties to market, and the outstanding presentation resulted in fabulous results.”
