When Great Collections are Sold, Stack's Bowers Galleries Sells Them Auction House of the World’s Most Notable Collections Throughout our history, we have cataloged and sold many of the most important collections to come to auction. Most recently, our sales of the D. Brent Pogue Collection have realized over $106 million. We also sold the previous record holder, the John J. Ford, Jr. Collection, for over $63 mil- lion in an unprecedented series of auctions from 2003 through 2013. The list of other remarkable collections presented by our firm is extensive. The Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection realized over $56.9 million and the Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection garnered over $39.4 million. Our sales of the Garrett, Cardinal, and Norweb collections each realized over $25 million! Today, the Stack’s Bowers Galleries legacy continues with our recent sales of the Blue Moon Collec- tion, the Twin Leaf Collection, the Gilded Age Collection, the Battle Born Collection, the Wa She Wong Collection, the Dr. James A. Ferrendelli Collection, the David M. Sundman Collection, the Thos. H. Law Collection, and many more. World Record Prices For over eight decades, our firm has dominated the number one spot on the list of top prices paid for United States coins at auction. Since 1979, we have held that record for all but seven years — an incomparable run that culminated in our sale of the first $10 million coin, the 1794 silver dollar from the Cardinal Collection, presented at auction by Stack’s Bowers Galleries in 2013. The history of record prices continues today. 2 Consign with Stack’s Bowers Galleries Today! America’s Oldest and Most Accomplished Rare Coin Auction House Let Our Success Be Your Success!
