Welcome to the latest edition of my Market Report. Things are busy here as usual—even busier, what with the combination of the former Stack’s and Bowers and Merena Galleries to form Stack’s Bowers Galleries.  It is nice to “have my name back,” as a number of people have mentioned! Here in the New Hampshire office—a [...]

Welcome to my latest Market Report. With the combination of Stack’s, and Bowers and Merena, things have been busy here, transitions and the like. One of the plans is to resume regular issuance of our Rare Coin Review, or perhaps we’ll call it the Numismatic Sun. Either way, this is always fun to create and [...]

This Market Report comes to you directly from the Stack’s-Bowers Numismatics auction gallery at 110 West 57th Street, on the second floor of the Directors Guild of America Building. I’m in the back row, flanked by staff members manning telephones, while in multiple rows between the podium and me are bidders—a veritable Who’s Who in [...]

Welcome to my latest Market Report. The market continues to be good overall. As I write these words I have just finished reviewing a nice old-time New England collection that has been consigned to our March sale in Baltimore. Most of the pieces were bought from Ray Merena and me years ago. Our client sought [...]

I recently returned from the Florida United Numismatists (FUN) convention in Tampa, always a fun event to attend. I spent most of my time at the Stack’s bourse table meeting new friends and greeting old ones. And, there were lots of nice comments about Stack’s and Bowers & Merena Galleries combining.

First of all, Happy New Year from me and all of the staff at Stack’s. We all wish you a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2011, filled with nice things, numismatic and otherwise. Coming up in January are three important sales, all held at our auction gallery in New York City—our sale of world coins on [...]

Welcome to the latest edition of my Market Report. Here at Stack’s we have been busy with our next three catalogues, our New York 2011 International Sale to be held in New York City on Monday, January 10th, Part II of The 52 Collection on Tuesday, January 25, and, following that, our ever-popular Americana Sale [...]

Welcome to the latest edition of my Market Report. We are in the midst of the Holiday Season, and I and everyone else at Stack’s wish you the best of happiness and cheer.

Welcome to the latest edition of my market report. Buying and selling continues to be excellent on all fronts, although gold bullion is a bit quiet. It is remarkable that when the price is going up, and news channels are running stories about gold, buyers swarm into our gallery at 123 West 57th Street in [...]

The market has remained relatively unchanged during the past week or so. Demand for choice and rare coins of all kinds remains strong, with investors competing for high grade issues, MS-65 and Proof-65 and higher, especially for items priced from a few hundred dollars up to several thousand dollars. There is, of course, continuing demand [...]
