Crossing the Block: Selections from the Pueblo Collection

By Greg Cohen, Numismatist and Consignment Director

Stack’s Bowers is proud to be able to offer a small, yet powerful selection of gold coins from the Pueblo Collection in our August 2012 official auction of the ANA World’s Fair of Money in Philadelphia. The consignor focused on coins from the S.S. Central America Treasure and rare double eagles, with an eye for quality. All but one of the eight coins in this collection will be offered in our August 9^th Rarities Night session.
