“Stack’s West 57th Street Collection” Hoard of More Than One Million American Coins

March 10, 2014 By Coin Update 6 Comments Stack's Bowers Galleries has announced the acquisition of one of the greatest American coin hoards ever discovered. Known as the "Stack's West 57th Street Collection," it includes more than one million coins. The market value is estimated to be well into eight figures, with initial estimates ranging from $15 to $20 million. The contents of the hoard range from bags of large copper cents and Capped Bust half dollars, to Morgan and other silver dollars. Other coins include Washington Quarters, Franklin Half Dollars, bags of Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cents, nearly 10,000 1909 V.D.B Lincoln Cents, and more. Most are in circulated grades, and will appeal to collectors seeking coins that are both historical and affordable

wow a flooded market
wonder who that collection belonged to

The coins of the Stack’s West 57th Street Collection were obtained in New York City and around the country, then stashed away and never reviewed for key dates or attributed by varieties. Armed guards kept watch as the 30-ton hoard was unloaded from two large transport trucks and transferred into secured vaults. The sorting process has now just begun, and announcements of collection highlights will be made in the upcoming months as the hoard is examined.
