The week of the auction, lot viewing begins at 2:00pm at the Baltimore Convention Center on the Bourse Floor, Booth 1461 and continues throughout the week from 9am-7pm daily.  And don’t forget the Internet only session!

The Internet Only sessions are timed auctions that end at 3:00pm Pacific Time on March 19th. There is no live bidding component, so all lots that have met their reserves will sell at the price when the auction ends. You can bid as many times as you want while the auction is open for bidding.

There will be lots of excitement between the auction room and the Convention Center bourse floor. Come by the Stack’s Bowers table (#1204) to view upcoming auction highlights and coins we have to offer for direct sale. Thinking of selling? Stack’s Bowers is the only Official Auction of the ANA this year! The first ANA auction of 2013 is the National Money Show coming up this May in New Orleans. Time and space is limited so don’t delay. The deadline is just around the corner on March 18th! Bring your collection to the Baltimore convention and meet with one of our consignment specialist to have your coins showcased at some of the biggest and most widely attended conventions of the year.  Wish you had consigned your coins to the Baltimore auction?
