Welcome to the Stack’s Bowers and Ponterio April 2017 Hong Kong Showcase Auction! I am pleased to present you with our latest auction. Our dedicated staff toiled for months to prepare this sale, which is full of incredible examples and extraordinary rarities. As the numismatic treasures arrived the excitement in the office grew as we anticipated bringing them to auction and sharing them with you. As you browse the sessions, I am sure you will also experience the excitement we felt when you encounter coins that are among the highest quality and some exceptional rarities.
In addition to the exhilaration of the auction, I am pleased to promote the second installment of the Hong Kong Coin Show, held the weekend following the sale. We opened this show last August to tremendous success and this year we expect even more participants to attend. Once again, coin dealers from around the globe will be in attendance to offer coins and currency from every numismatic interest. This coin show is well on its way to becoming a world class numismatic event, so be sure to stop by! On behalf of everyone here at Stack’s Bowers and Ponterio I wish you happy and successful bidding and hope to see you at the show.
Richard Ponterio
