Stack’s Bowers Galleries is poised to sell one of the most important treasures of the 2021 auction year. The 1822 $5 gold piece has long been considered among the most desirable of United States coins, as well as one of the most unattainable. Only three examples are known, and of that tiny number, there is only a single coin in private hands and available to collectors.
As our catalogers finish writing descriptions, taking photos, and giving this coin the attention it deserves, take a moment to enjoy our Coins in Motion Highlight Video of the week!
