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.

Long Term Relationships
Why our Clients say Stack’s Bowers Galleries is the Best Since 1933, Stack’s Bowers Galleries has been at the forefront of numismatics, handling more prominent collections and rarities than any other coin auction firm. Yet, it is the words of our cli- ents that provide us with our greatest satisfaction and our proudest moments. Here are some actual comments of customers and consignors who have taken the time to reflect on their experiences with Stack’s Bowers Galleries.
Customer service is exceptional. The ANA auction ended while I was on vacation. I called customer service, asked a few questions and made a request. Your customer service people have always been helpful. They are an asset to your organization. I requested a delay in shipping on this order due to my travel schedule. My experience with your company is that my orders are usually shipped and received in a very timely fashion. I give your company high marks in that regard.
I enjoy bidding in your auctions, and as in the past, everything met my highest expectations. I will be looking forward to participating in future auctions. Thanks and keep up the good work.
I have been very satisfiedwith the service received in both this auction and others. I’ve had quite a successful summer of bid- ding and have received notifications of results and all lots promptly after payment. Very much appreciated.
I had a few questions, asked through email, and received prompt replies from your staff, which impressed me. I felt as if the particular questions I asked returned thoughtful, well-worded answers that satisfied my curiosity and assured me that I was making a reasonable bid on those coins.
Thank you for the opportunity to experience and participate in such an event. Bidding online was an exciting and easy procedure without surprises. I didn’t have any questions and I would gladly bid again. I purchased one lot and the item arrived surprisingly quickly, without any complications. Congratulations on an excellent sale.
This was my first time bidding in a Stack’s Bowers Galleries auction and overall I was completely satisfied with the experience. The coins in general were of a higher quality than what I’ve been used to through other auction sites, and the customer service superior.
ALL should be recognized! Especially those who assist in answering matters related to account issues.
This was my first time doing business with you all and it was a great experience. The bidding process was very easy and efficient. I did have several questions and received fantastic and helpful service from your reps. I was fortu- nate enough to have my bid be successful so yes my bidding experience was most satisfying. My purchase arrived in a most timely manner and payment issues were of no concern. Also, I love the FAQ section of your website. Please don’t change anything (the experience was super easy and most clear). And yes, I will bid with you all again and am looking forward to future auctions. Thank you!

Your systems work great, but no procedure is better than the people who administer it. I am extremely impressed with the S-B customer service that I receive. It could not be better. The Web site works well; invoices are immediately sent, and everything is accurate. You folks run a first class organization.
Your consignment director has helped me immensely over the years. He helps me with consignments when I have a duplicate or two that I think should be auctioned, as well as with evaluations of selected coins in upcoming auctions. He is terrific!
As treasurer for the Colonial Coin Collectors Club, I want to again thank Stack’s Bowers for partnering with us for our annual convention and producing a wonderful auction of colonial-related material! We look forward to continuing this relationship in the future!
Coins are much more valuable than they were in earlier years. There are many current nuances associated with insurance, grading, transportation, security, provenance, marketing, photography, catalog preparation, displays at coin shows and at office venues, adver- tising in trade publications, contacts with leading coin dealers and advanced collectors, comprehensive Internet website presentation, seasoned experience in conducting auctions in real-time online, settlements of accounts, clarity of contractual agreements, depth of experience in the business, knowledge of prior sales history — all are relevant considerations in managing an auction and in provid- ing confidence, results and peace-of-mind, whether to a collector or to an estate.All I had to do was provide the coins. One call to you really did it all. The updates, coordination and regular communications that you provided personally, were excep- tional. You reviewed and ensured that content was consistent and at high quality level.
The publicity for the auction wasthe best I have witnessed during my several years of attending and participating in coin auctions. Essentially, all media related to numismatics had mention of the auction and several of my friends called me to report their knowledge of the auction several weeks prior to the actual event.
I want you to know that my choosing Stack’s Bowers to auction my collection is the best choice I could have made, and I sincerely believe that your personal attention and efforts were the major factors for my being a fully satisfied consignor.
