This auction company is SLOW at shipping paid items. If you want prompt shipping for your items, look for another auction house. I get lots faster in the USA from London auctioneers than this one out of CA.
What a great company to work with. I am so glad that I had them work their magic with my rare coins. Your service was very much appreciated, and I highly recommend them to anyone concerned about getting the best value for their coins. Skilled, professional, honest and fair. I will return in a heartbeat if I ever have rare coins that I would like liquidate. Best wishes - ;)(;
Overall a very positive experience selling a modest coin collection. Mark was a pleasure to deal with and very straightforward. The prices were fair for dealer prices. More importantly, given that the business has been around for decades and is quite reputable I felt confident that I would not be taken advantage of. Would definitely recommend them for selling coins.
I had a great experience with this business, from the very first email contact to the concluded transaction. I made plans to have a couple of coins evaluated, and I was treated fairly and respectfully. The process was easy and I chose to sell the coins (and some bullion) to them. I was happy with my compensation. I witnessed similarly respectful customer service toward walk-in buyers. I highly recommend Stacks Bowers.
The highly professional employees here make doing business an honest, hassle-free affair. They’re welcoming, patient and you know you’re in a good place the moment you enter. I had previously visited shops on 47th and the experience can be likened to a hellscape. I was shocked at how patronizing and dishonest they were. Conversely, I was thrilled with the experience I had here. I’ll definitely be back!
My experience with Stacks and in particular with Andrew was really first rate. He was a pleasure to deal with, very knowledgeable, and I felt as if i was treated fairly.
Im amazed!I found some old currency during the course of a move. Stacks Bowers gave a fast appraisal and the sale was completed very quickly. We sought 4 different appraisals. Stacks came back with the highest appraisal by far!I would definitely recommend and use this service again!
June 29, 2021, I drove from Delaware to New York City to sell my dads Uncirculated Carson City Silver Dollars to a highly recommended coin dealer in NYC on 47th Street. Just as a back up, I asked Mark Schimel (the NYC Store Manager) from Stacks Bowers Galleries on 470 Park Ave to also give me some comparison quotes for 5 of my 53 CC Silver Dollars.Stacks significantly beat the price from my recommended source on 47th street on all 5 coins.Dont waste you time on low quality (and low selling prices) on 47th street.Stacks was well air conditioned, offered cold water bottles, rest rooms and plenty of space for me to lay out my 53 CC coins.Mark even told me that almost half my coins would likely bring in premium prices if we want to auction with them. He explained everything twice (once for me and once for my dad).I had previously heard good things about Stacks, but when I visited them, they exceeded all my expectations.
I was looking to sell my father’s and grandfather’s collection of gold and silver US and foreign coins. I had a pleasant conversation with Mark S on the phone. After sending him an inventory it was decided they were coins that they would either buy or auction. This was a very large collection and Mark carefully and methodically went through the collection with us. This process took a few hours and we never felt rushed. I did a great deal of homework on what I felt the coins were worth before going in. The prices offered were very fair and even exceeded my expectations. I felt the process with Mark S was very honest and transparent. My father left very pleased with the process and his check. We sold everything except a collection of silver commemoratives which were recommended to put to auction in order to maximize our profit. I felt a lot of pressure to honor what this collection meant to my father and grandfather and Stack’s Bowers came through big.
In 1964 at age 9 I made the trip to Stacks from Queens. My friend was carrying a basketball. We spent a lot time for a very small purchase and continued collecting for 25 years. I was a nervous little kid and Stacks treated me very well and it still is a vivid memory.
‘I had the extreme pleasure to deal with Stack’s & Bowers representative – James McCartney, his professionalism, his knowledge and the courtesy he extended was outstanding!We thank him for taking the time to answer our questions, reviewing our sizeable collection, calculating a value, making a good settlement offer and completing a resolution transaction for us.It was our pleasure to deal with him, his company, and staff.’ *****
I had a bagful of coins left me by my parents and it was time to send them to another home (or to the silver smelter). Mark Schimel took great care in working with me and gave me a fair price. He was very kind and provided excellent service.
I get it that its an auction house so the in-store inventory is going to be minimal at best, but as an out-of-towner who always wanted to visit the famous Stacks Bowers, I was a bit underwhelmed and disappointed. The worst part of my visit was the customer service. A gentleman there was a bit curt and pretentious. I get it: you live in NYC and have a Park Ave. location, but come on man, coins are a hobby for the masses. Lets not forget our roots. Take care.
They have cool coins, but are total lowballers. I came in with a 1909 S penny and was offered $25, of course i declined, and it sold for $72 in an ebay auction, nearly triple the price
I came in with a large collection of antique foreign coins, which I had exhaustively researched in advance. I had to wait a few minutes until a salesman was available, but they have comfy chairs and the security guard was very personable.Five stars for courteous service, excellent communication about how coins were priced, knowledgeable, and most impressive was that they confirmed my research. For my part, I came in prepared and patient.I suspect some negative reviews are due to patrons thinking they have million dollar collections and come to find they are not valuable.I watched the salesman check the coin values both online and in massive volumes of international coin listings. Remember, this is a retail establishment and they have to sell at a profit.End of story is that I sold enough coins to completely pay off a car loan!
I spent over a month trying to get established as a seller with James M., most of the time getting ignored, at which point I was finally told by James M. that he was working on a project and would have Mark S. assist. THEN, Mark S. ultimately ended up telling me I had to first have my coins graded by NGC or PCGS($35&UP PER COIN)BEFORE they would auction my coins off for me! He then said that my only other option would be to sell him my brilliant uncirculated coins for the SILVER CONTENT ONLY of the coins! :-( NONE of the other many auctions I have sold at before told me that! Lastly, he said I had to come into their store and sign a contract in New York, even though I am on the OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTRY! It should not take over a month to get told this kind of multi-level bad news. So unless your coins are already graded(or you want to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars getting them graded) and you live in or very close to New York city; steer clear.
Best coin shop in Manhattan.Reasonable price and good, quick service wont disappoint visitors. Also the place is tidy, make the shop more attractive. If youre currency collector, visiting this place is highly recommended.
Stacks has improved over the years. Service was immediate and professional. The salesman Andrew was willing to answer all questions and offer advice. My transaction was fast and complete. I like the modern day Stacks and will return.
Where can I sell a coin of the first president of the United States from 1789 one dollars
My wife and I had a wide variety of coins inherited from a family member and were referred to Stacks by a friend. We couldnt have been more impressed with the staff and our overall experience. Mark took his time with us and did his due diligence to make sure he carefully went through the collection. He advised us on what he would purchase from us and what we should do with the items he couldnt. They are honest, polite, and caring when it comes to your items. Couldnt recommend more highly.
I took my late husbands coin collection to Stacks Bowers yesterday, knowing almost nothing about coins. Mark saw me right away. He could not have been more calming, helpful and thorough. The decor is refined and comfortable. Happily, I walked away with new information and a substantial check!
I have good Nickles very cheape will you buy?how much? thank you !
I brought in some coins that were left over from my dads coin collection which had been sold (without my knowledge) a number of years ago.Mark was professional, friendly, easy to deal with and FAIR. I would not hesitate to do business with Stacks and Bowers again. A VERY good experience!!
I brought my 8 year old son who loves rare coins and has his own small collection to Stacks Bowers today and it was such a special experience for him! He was able to see some amazing coins and bills on display and show the collector behind the desk a coin he brought. At the end he gave him non collectible but such interesting coins to take home. My son was on cloud nine. What a great gem for parents to bring their budding coin collectors to!
Nice employee and big selection of coins but if you try to sell them youre coins they will give you a very low offer. other than that they are good, they teaches my some things about coins I never knew
Person I dealt with online tries taking advantage of people. Trys offering lump some offers for multiple different items and gets a lot of people to bite. There nice and pleasant because they are making money off you and take advantage of people. Do your research and price your items personally before going to sell anywhere. 99% of big company money buyers are professional scam artists
Stacks Bowers is the ONLY place I would ever consider going for buying and/or selling gold or silver coins. I have had experience in doing both over the past 10 years. I have had to liquidate both my mothers and Uncles estates and was given a VERY fair purchase price both times which were several years apart. Later, I decided to invest in some gold for myself and was once again offered an excellent sale price. As someone unfamiliar with the world of numismatics and trade in precious metals, I felt comfortable in asking questions and even more assured that the information I received was correct. Ultimately, I decided to divest myself of my gold purchase, and once again was able to sell at a surprising good price. I cannot overstate how fair, knowledgeable and courteous Stacks Bowers is. Neophyte or experienced buyers and sellers are sure to be very satisfied by the experience of working with them. I will most definitely go to them in the future!
This Place is very epic 10/10. They were very honest and I was very welcome there. It is probably one of the best coin shops around. Would go again. They taught my 13 year old son the basics of coin collecting and inspired him to continue to pursue his passion.
Professional, compassionate, thoughtful, high integrity...Stacks Bowers is the epitome of what a coin gallery should be. We brought in some coins to sell and could not have been more impressed with the process. They are knowledge professionals, provided legitimate valuations (along with explanations where necessary) and their attention to customer service was first rate. Without question we will be returning here for any future purchases or sales of coins.
Stack’s Bowers is without question the finest, most trustworthy business I have dealt with in as long as I can remember. Andrew Bowers and his partners are consummate professionals and the most decent and honest people I have had the pleasure of doing some very high stakes business with. I do not say this lightly as it’s rare in today’s world to meet anyone in any business who is as scrupulously and unimpeachably honest, transparent in their practices, looks out for its customers and clients as is Stack’s Bowers. I recently sold them a sizable collection of highly valuable coins. It was the kind of transaction that could have been a nightmare scenario if one were not dealing with first class professionals, with the highest degree of knowledge in their field combined with absolute, scrupulous honesty. When you are entrusting a very valuable collection of gold coins you need to make a sizable leap of faith as the transaction is processed (from when the collection leaves your premises and arrives at theirs for evaluation and an offer to purchase). At no time did my heart skip a beat, my blood pressure rise and I did not worry for even a minute that somehow I was going to regret my trust in Mr. Bowers and his colleagues. What I especially appreciated and respected was the very clear and transparent way in which Mr. Bowers explained the entire process to me. At no time did he give me a sales pitch or try to sway my decision to use his company. I am definitely not a naive or foolish person so I know what I am talking about. After Stack’s Bowers received this incredibly valuable and huge quantity of coins, they actually told me I had undercounted the inventory I had sent to them and they saved me at least tens of thousands of dollars through their honesty. Mr. Bowers is such a decent man to deal with: they bore all the expense of shipping the product and told me all about the process. He told me if I didn’t like their offer, there would be no hard feelings and he would gladly ship my collection back to me. I was very pleased with their offer. In fact, I knew their offer was the fair and decent offer before even checking because that isthe way they conduct their business: as experts, as professionals, as honest business men and as gentlemen. I had, and have, total confidence in their expertise and trustworthiness; their well deserved, long standing reputation speaks for itself. This is not a company that employed any sort of “sales pitch.” It is impossible for me to imagine ever using any other company but Stacks Bowers.
If you have any interest in coins - or you have coins to sell, Stacks & Bowers is the only place to go in New York. The whole team is incredibly knowledgeable and from the moment you call or visit you know youre in the hands of experts. They are friendly, honest and will not push you to buy or sell anything until youre ready. Great place. Great people. Great coins! Thanks for all your help.
Very professional and very fair, pretty much the best you will find. Cant recommend them highly enough. If you are lucky you will get to deal with Andrew Bowers.
I wanted to share the positive experience I had at the New York City store of Stack’s Bowers.Recently, I had inherited some coins from a relative. I wanted some assistance with valuing the coins. A close friend recommended Stack’s Bowers to me. When I walked into the store, I was greeted by Jesse. He was very friendly and a wealth of information regarding the coins I had. Jesse spent an extensive amount of time with me, analyzing each coin. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the coins were a lot more valuable than I expected; I had been told they were of less value in another establishment I had visited. Jesse gave me a reassuring feeling while completing a task I was uncertain about. I also browsed through the cases and was enticed by some of the items I saw.I enjoyed my time at the New York City store. I would highly recommend this location to all my friends and relatives.Jyoti
First visit and I was treated very well. Did not feel intimidated compared to other coin dealers in nyc. Got a great deal on a 1915 $10 Gold Indian coin. The selection is amazing. Will definitely be back....probably tomorrow....Well I came back next day to trade for a $20 gold coin and Mark gave me a great deal in exchange. I will make a visit every time I come to NYC. There selection of Roman gold coins is very impressive.
Professional and efficient. Andrew was courteous, educated me quickly and purchased the coins I brought in. I would use them again, and recommend them to others.
I called the Stacks office to ask for help on a miscellaneous inherited collection of coins, proof sets and foreign coins. Andrew invited to come in at any time, which I did. Andrew was friendly, helpful and patiently explained some of the mysteries of coins and their values. He proposed a seemingly reasonable price for the collection, which I felt was very fair. Overall I was impressed. Anthony Smith
I went to get my coin collection appraised and Andrew the appraiser was very helpful. Very professional and I felt I wasnt being bamboozled. I actually got more then expected. I went to 2 other places and Stacks gave me the best price. Highly recommend them.
From the Security Guard Tom to the Sales Associate Mark this place is Great! Very helpful. Super kind. I was looking for a gift for my 83 year old uncle who collects coins. They not only got me a cool gift but threw-in a coin that commerated the store when it was just Stacks before the merger. Tom also got me two coin auction books that I know my uncle will love going through.Great experience!
Decent customer service, decent selection of collectors items. Not enough interaction on a informative and human level. Guest services could have been better.
Best of the best none more honest and customer friendlymark you rock
Absolutely THE BEST company in NYC. I am dealing with them for more than 15 years. Super professional, knowledgable & friendly. These people will not rip you off. Very fair prices whether you are buying from them or selling to them. Highly recommended.
Ive been a customer of Stacks for about 45 years, when I was a kid collecting coins. As a grownup, over the past 10 years or so, Ive sold gold bullion coins to them a few times. Their cut is very fair and the process is secure and drama-free. I once made the error of selling bullion coins elsewhere, but that wont happen again. If you need to cash out or even if you want to look at some really cool coins, this is the place to go.
This business is Professional and prompt. Within a few hours I had an honest assessment from a simple email. How very wonderful to experience such courtesy, efficiency and professionalism in an age of quick thoughtless actions. Thank you for your help!
They are true experts! A pleasure to do business with the SB Team!
This is a great, no nonsense, high end shop. The prices are very fair. Its probably best to know what you want before you get there, but the staff is nice, knowledgeable, and very helpful.
I was referred here a few years ago and have been a customer ever since! I have done business at Stacks now on several different occasions and have always had a terrific experience. Whether buying or selling, the staff here is always exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful. They have great display cases with some unique items available for purchase, as well as a gold ATM on the street! Highly recommended.
Staff made selling a rare bill so easy! Price quoted via email and experience at the store as quick and pleasant as possible. Highly recommend this firm, honest and professional.
They bought some old bills from me, paid a very fair price, but best of all, they sent me the money first with no questions: old fashioned trust!!
I had a great experience at NY Stacks! I had a few questions and was a bit nervous, but their staff definitely made me feel at ease. Everyone was so helpful and knowledgeable. This is seriously a great place to visit if you are looking to buy, sell, trade or even to just go in and browse.
I walked into the office a bit hesitant initially as I have heard of many people in the industry has not trustworthy. Upon entering I was greeted by Mr. Jassal, he advised me what would be best for my remaining coins as well as areas to avoid if I wanted to further my collection. I left there happy and with quite a bit more money than I anticipated to receive. I would advise you to see him as he was able to answer my question immediately, for ones he did not have he called me a couple of days later after his research.
The store is very intimate and appealing to buyers like me! It is clean, quiet and the staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I especially liked my interactions with Samantha. She was great and made my experience more pleasurable. I will definitely recommend a visit to Stacks!
Wonderful experience! Very convenient and a wonderful knowledgable staff. I inherited some coins from my grandfather, but I had no idea what to do with them. The gentleman at the store was very helpful. I ended up consigning the coins to one of their auction and I was very happy with the results! I highly suggest Stacks Bowers!
Andrew himself greeted me, and he took a careful and methodical look at a rare currency I brought in. Considering how busy he and his staff mustve been due to the New York Intl Numismatic Convention that took place, I appreciated the time he took to value my currency, and make an offer that was fair for both of us. I sent him an email to thank him. How often do you get first-class customer service from every level of staff, especially nowadays? I will be going back again!
Very honest and fair with in all aspects. They are the best at what they do. I highly recommend them.
I sold some coins to Stacks yesterday. The transaction was handled very professionally as well as being very transparent. Highly recommended!
I buy and sell a lot of coins and currency as my part time job. I have tried just about everyone else in NYC but I keep coming back to Stacks. 99% of the time they have the best buy prices. And the one or two times we couldnt make a deal work, they were still friendly and VERY helpful.
I had a very nice experience I would recommend anybody to go there mannerable and respectful youre not scared to answer and question well imma go back and I recommend you go to
Mark was very helpful, knowledgeable and took care of me right away. Fair and convenient prices
My husband and I had a very pleasant experience with Stacks Bowers. We were treated with utmost courtesy and Mark was very professional.I would highly recommend Stacks Bowers to anyone.
My husband and I had been gifted coins as investments. We had no place for them in our apartment and after doing research, found they were rather valuable. We went to Stackss and Bowers and spoke with Andrew who was incredibly knowledgable and trustworthy. The process to sell our coins and old currency was seamless and we would highly recommend this establishment.
I feel confident that I got a good price for the coins I sold this morning.The salesperson took the time to explain everything to me in a respectful manner even though I was clearly a novice.
Had a Family Coin Collection dating back to two Grand Fathers who served in World War II and my Mother who continued collecting, having no idea what to do with the collection.I called Stacks Bowers Rare Coin Gallerie in New York with Mark taking my call. He took the time to go over my questions not knowing much, inviting me to their Gallerie. We shuffled in with suitcases of coin and paper money with security greeting us like Queens. A lovey and professional environment with a warm welcoming by Mark. It all was a bit overwhelming for us but Mark made us feel comfortable and assured us with his knowledge and honesty with what we had. The experience and out come was satisfying and prosperous for our family.We meet a second time and again being more than pleased.In the interim I have highly recommended this firm / Mark to a family/friends in the same situation.We will be visiting Mark again with Stacks Bower Rare Coin Gallerie for yet more of our familys collection.BestMarianna Kaszy-Carlson
I had a great experience at Stacks when I sold the coin collection my father and I assembled over the past 25 years. We got good money for the bullion up front, and then had some great scores in their coin auction.
Got a rare coin for a great price. Staff is nice and very knowledgeable. Will be coming back time and time again.
Brought in my coin collection to sell. There were almost no lights on in the gallery when I entered which made me think it was closed except for the security guard. the person taking care of me was pleasant, BUT miss counted one of the denomination of coin I had by almost 20 pieces, I mentioned I had a problem with his number but did NOT recount them until I told him to recount them. He also gave me a price for a 5 oz bar of silver when in reality it was a 10 oz bar of silver. When it came to the check they issued me for purchasing my collection, my last name was spelled wrong. What bothered me the most was that I was never given an apology for any of his mistakes. Was I stupid for not walking out after his second mistake ???
Im a 25 year customer of Stacks Bowers. Stopped by the NY store this past March to sell some gold bullion coins to raise cash for other Stacks Auctions. Easy transaction working with Jesse L. Great fair price and since then success at auction.
Excellent service! I was in and out of there in less than 20 minutes, I had a bunch of old coins, a gold bracelet, and a gold ring, prices were totally reasonable and this was a great experience.
Mark was extremely knowledgeable about the coin collection I brought in, carefully analyzing each piece to determine what was a collectable and was what worth selling for its metallic value. I felt I received a fair price for my collection.
Great staff, good pricing...will shop again.. Sold a few coins and got great pricing. Thank you
Id definitely recommend NY Stacks Bowers! Awesome customer service & very knowledgeable staff. Pleased with every purchase & transaction I’ve had.
I called “STACK’S Bowers Rare Coin Galleries last week ..Arrived at 2:30pm, Security Officer greeted me with a smile, hand shake, told him I was there to see “Mark” asked if I would like a bottle of water😁😁..Wow customer service beyond...It took about 45 mins to an hour to go thru my collection.. Excellent Experience, shared laughs ..It was truly a great experience... No hassle straight forward! True Professional’s... Highly Recommend Stack’s!!

Fabulous shop, great experience. Love visiting when I am in New York
They were very good with some old coin collections that I brought in and gave me a good price. Highly recommend them
Wonderful service! Very knowledgeable staff. I would highly recommend!
Very welcoming and helpful with a great knowledge base.
Professional and knowledgeable staff. Top notch customer service. I will definitely recommend this business to friends.
I am very happy with the price Stacks paid for my dads rare coin collection. It was bittersweet to sell, but my dad did a lot of business with Stacks when he was collecting and I know I got a strong price when I sold.
I call to ask a question 1000% nice and help full
Very friendly service, wonderful selection with everything from ancients to present-day. Highly recommended if youre in the area and have any interest in numismatics.
My old coins collection my WhatsApp number +923410180743
Racist security with gun and salesman Ahmed cheated my purchases and devalued my coin collection. He even pressuring me to buy coins at 10 times its actual value. The fat, few teeth and black teeth security want to stand in front showcase and flex gun in waist. Very nasty experience and I wanted to be a loyal customer.
I went in to get a 1 OZ gold bar for my girlfriends birthday. To my horror the gold ATM was out of order. I went into the store and met Jesse. He informed me that they were currently out of those bars. Luckily for me he decided to check their safe where he found a Suisse credit. He made out my receipt and I was all set to go. Thanx Jesse.
I love shopping/ buying coins at Stacks Bowers. Staff is friendly, down to earth, and honest. They are conveniently located.
I found the staff at Stacks Bowers to be very knowledgable and their selection of coins was impressive! I would definitely recommend stopping in, whether youre looking buy something new or trade something in.
Great place. Very coordial. Great collection
I had a nice experience, very informative, everyone in the store was very friendly. I will definitely go back if i come across any more coins.
My experience with my Stacks representative has been outstanding. He is very knowledgeable, and his professionalism is unparalleled.
The staff where extremely nice and knowledgeable. The security guard is friendly and also knowledgeable.
First time shopper and it was empty until I walked in, but coin specialist was very patient, answered all of my questions, and gave me exceptional service. I will come back !
They know there coins amazing group of men and women
I was pleased with the amount that I got for selling my grandmothers coin collection.
Have worked with some of their employees for years,. Extremely knowledgeable. They know their stuff.
Can i get the email so i can send pictures of my coins so then you can give me information because im from Puerto Rico
Im very impressed with the professionalism and customer rapport.
Worst place to sell or Buy your coins to ... so impolite and very rude staff
Thank you for a very pleasant experience.
How do I contact this store?
Great place to buy bullion in NYC
