Stack’s Bowers Galleries announces that it has entered into a multi-year agreement with the Colonial Coin Collectors Club (C4) to conduct an annual auction of Colonial coinage and related material. The inaugural joint auction will take place during the Stack’s Bowers Galleries Official Auction of the Whitman Coin and Collectibles Expo in Baltimore November 12-18, 2012. At this show, C4 will have its annual convention. Stack’s Bowers is inviting consignments of Colonial coinage and related material such as Colonial currency as well as other U.S. coins and currency from now until September 24, 2012, and interested consignors are asked to call 800.458.4646 to discuss opportunities.

“The Colonial Coin Collectors Club is a non-profit organization that seeks to increase the public’s knowledge about Colonial numismatics and to promote the study of Colonial numismatics. In order to fulfill this mission, C4 has a yearly convention where they hold an auction that provides capitol for their operating budget, and it is a great pleasure for Stack’s Bowers Galleries to be able to support them in their efforts to advance the study of Colonial numismatics,” said Chris Napolitano, president of Stack’s Bowers Galleries. “The Stack’s Bowers Americana Sales are a long-standing tradition which are very popular among Americana collectors and will give a great amount of added exposure to the annual C4 convention, which is a benefit to both buyers and sellers of Colonial items.”

Stack’s Bowers will donate 100 percent of the hammer price and all commissions to the Club from a select number of lots donated by C4 members. Information about the club can be found at www.colonialcoins.org.

“We are very excited about this opportunity with Stack’s Bowers in Baltimore where our club will be exposed to many more collectors and dealers. Our co-sponsored auction will expand our reach to so many more buyers and we are looking forward to working with Stack’s Bowers for their reputation and expertise,” said Jim Rosen, president of the Colonial Coin Collectors Club. “I encourage C4 members to participate by consigning and buying in this auction in support of our organization. The more participation we have by our own members, the better the benefits will be to the club.”
