The Top Five from Pinnacle—A Record-Setting Auction

The monumental Pinnacle Collection realized unbelievable results, obliterating numerous records. One such record was the number of lots to realize more than $1 million. Prior to The Pinnacle Collection, no single auction presented by Stack’s Bowers Galleries (including United States sales) has exceeded four lots that sold for  $1 million or more. Part II of the D. Brent Pogue Collection in September 2015 was the prior record holder with four items that crossed that benchmark. Indeed, before the Pinnacle offering, no sale (extending beyond our firm) has ever had five $1 million plus lots in the non-US category. Featuring items from Russia and Asia, we present the top five lots from this incredible collection:

1. RUSSIA. Silver Ruble Pattern, 1825-CNB. St. Petersburg Mint. Constantine. NGC PROOF-62.

Sold for $2,640,000
