Costa Mesa, CA (March 8, 2022) – Stack’s Bowers Galleries is thrilled to announce the incredible Hendricks Set of $10 Eagles from the Fairmont Collection, a landmark feature of their Spring 2022 Showcase Auction. Spanning the Classic Head and Liberty Head series from 1834 through 1907, the $10 eagles from the Hendricks Set exhibit the superior quality and completeness that has become a hallmark of the Fairmont provenance.

Of the 148 coins in this offering, 101 have been stickered by CAC for a 68% approval rate. The Hendricks Set features an impressive array of both Condition Census and Everyman quality, and its first ever auction appearance in April is sure to generate tremendous excitement.
