History
[edit]The company was founded as Stack's Rare Coins in 1933 in New York City by brothers Joseph and Morton Stack and held its first numismatic auction in 1935.[1]. Its first location was at 690th Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, but in 1953 the company would move to 123 West 57th Street, where it was to operate an office for more than 60 years[2]. In 2008 Stack's merged with American Numismatic Rarities[3]. In 2011, the company subsequently merged with Bowers and Merena and started operating as Stack's Bowers Galleries[4]
