Stack's Bowers Galleries is pleased to announce that their May 2025 Showcase Auction, a 375-lot sale focused on United States federal coinage, is now open for pre-sale bidding at the auction link above. The sale will be hosted in and broadcast from the firm's state-of-the-art Griffin Studios in Costa Mesa, California, on Tuesday, May 6.

The auction is anchored by a rare Mint State 1851 Augustus Humbert $50 "slug" produced by the United States Assay Office of Gold. Among the very finest graded by NGC at MS62, it is an important numismatic relic of the California Gold Rush.

"With the strength of the current coin market, we decided to add a showcase auction to our schedule and provide our clients with an additional opportunity to add great coins to their collections," explained Stack's Bowers Galleries President Brian Kendrella.

Further highlights include:

There will be multiple lot viewing opportunities available to interested clients, including at the Central States Numismatic Society Convention, April 23-26 in Schaumburg, Illinois; at Stack's Bowers Galleries' flagship New York Gallery, April 30-May 1 (by appointment); and at the firm's Costa Mesa headquarters on May 5.
