Hobbies And Interests
Stack's
Stack's primarily works with rare coin auctions. The company prides itself on its experienced, knowledgeable staff; each staff member has years of experience. The company holds a number of auctions a year, and collectors have a variety of options as to how they can participate. Stack's allows collectors to bid live online, live in-store, via email, by mail or phone. An approval process to participate in an auction is required, so collectors need to register several days in advance. Requests to bid via phone need to be made at least seven days in advance to ensure enough phones are available and a seasoned representative is available to take calls. A 15 percent buyer's premium is added to all sales to cover auction fees.
