Contemplating the sale of a treasured collection is often difficult. Nonetheless, selling is an important part of the collecting process, and planning for and overseeing the sale of property can offer a rewarding sense of closure. As the person with the greatest emotional and financial investment, you have the best understanding of your material and the market, and can make the important decisions necessary to maximize the sale of your results.
It is inevitable that some collections will be left to heirs, either as planned or as a result of unforeseen circumstances. All too often, collections left to family members or others who are unfamiliar with numismatics are sold at inappropriate venues and realize less than their potential. Similarly, uninformed heirs can be vulnerable to paying excessive fees and charges. These scenarios can be avoided by having a formalized plan in place to assist with the dispersal. Every aspect of the sale can be put into writing to ensure the eventual transaction meets your wishes and expectations.
At Stack’s Bowers Galleries, we recognize the significance of the sale of a collection and the unique challenge this presents. Our goal is to minimize the unknown and maximize the results, while always remaining mindful of our clients.
