Successful Showcase Auction
July 15, 2026
Stack’s Bowers Galleries’ June 2026 Showcase Auction was a multi-million-dollar success, with prices shattering records left and right. This seven-session sale featured 3,200 lots spanning U.S. coins, colonial and pre-federal issues, federal rarities, territorial and pattern coinage, numismatic Americana, medals, tokens, and physical cryptocurrency. The auction realized nearly $13.2 million—the highest-ever total for a Summer Whitman Expo Showcase Auction.
“The June Showcase Auction underscored the continued strength of today’s rare coin market, even in the face of volatility in the equity and precious metals markets,” says Brian Kendrella, president of Stack’s Bowers Galleries. “From exceptional Barber coinage and early copper to presidential inaugural medals and physical cryptocurrency, bidders responded enthusiastically to rarity, quality, and provenance. We are grateful to our consignors and clients for making this auction such a success.”
