A great experience with Stack's (we often dwell on negatives)

pcgscacgold · August 30, 2023 3:33PM

I won my first ever auction at Stack's during the George Schwenk Collection auction. The auction was held on Wednesday, 8/16/2023. The coin was an 1836 $5 MS62+CAC and one I have wanted since I saw it over a year ago.

I mailed a check First Class mail (not express) on Thursday the 17th and by Thursday the 24th they were already shipping the coin using two day FedEx. I received the coin on Monday, 8/28/2023. Again, this was my first purchase from Stack's. I did not expect such great service. From getting a call to up my bid limit, to getting a call to verify my address before shipping the customer service was top notch. I just felt they deserved to have a positive shout out. I am not sure if any Stack's people hang out here but I appreciate your efforts.

A beautiful coin and great service.

They run a quality outfit there- couldn’t agree more- also got my coins Monday!

A great looking coin, can't believe it didn't grade higher (but of course that would have raised your cost to acquire it). Congrats to you and Stack's Bowers.

Glad you took that one down, otherwise I was going to 😅

Even worse would have been if JA had put a gold sticker on it. That would have taken me out of the running 😄

Sb usually ship fast and the shipping charge is reasonable.

Coinscratch · August 30, 2023 5:16PM

Gorgeous and good to know about Stacks I always assumed they were a top notch service.

BryceM · August 30, 2023 5:28PM

If that coin is an MS62+, it is an exceptional coin for the grade. WTG.

Downtown1974 · August 30, 2023 5:32PM

An absolute stunner!
I’ve also had top notch service with Stacks.

Where's TomB with his superlative and worthy praise?

RobertScotLover · August 30, 2023 6:13PM

I happen to love Stack's, tremendous customer service, always able to reach somebody that knows what they are doing, even during cover bs they kept things together.
oh yes and gorgeous specimen.
BTW what did it end up selling for if I may?

pcgscacgold · August 30, 2023 6:14PM

@Downtown1974 great 12 piece set. I’m still searching for the Tyoe 2 gold dollar.

Easy enough to access the result so don’t mind the question. Hammer $12,000 so $14,400 with BP. Went over $21,000 a year ago.

That coin is gorgeous! Looks seriously under graded, unless the trueview is hiding some hairlines somewhere. Great to hear about SB! I have never used them, but will consider them in the future.

CharlotteDude · August 30, 2023 6:34PM

That’s a gorgeous classic!

OldIndianNutKase · August 30, 2023 6:56PM

You did well and now have a great coin that certainly looks very undergraded. I think it to be a great bargain for the price. I do not understand the 62.5 grade but I have not seen the coin in hand. Very worthy of a regrade submittal.

Great looking coin for sure!!!

Congrats on a great pickup.

CaptHenway · August 30, 2023 7:13PM

Beautiful!

Smudge · August 30, 2023 7:23PM

That’s a really strong 62+.

Coinbert · August 31, 2023 3:46AM

A real beauty at a great price. Congratulations.

Keshequa · August 31, 2023 5:24AM

Agree with the comments about customer service.
That's one helluva eye-appealing coin. The photos of the coin in the holder from the original auction from 2021 reveals a very flashy, original coin. It's a keeper.

ElmerFusterpuck · August 31, 2023 5:34AM

Wonderful coin! And two thumbs way up for Stack's too, always great service and shipping. Julie Abrams joined there not too long ago.

HillbillyCollector · August 31, 2023 6:12AM

Yeah, Stacks is great!
And that’s a beautiful HE, really looks higher than a 62+.
Congrats on winning!

Yes…that one was a long hunt for me. Pedzola turned me on to the one I have. He has a great eye for old gold.

The 1851 $5 I just posted in another thread about my $5 type set was a Pedzola coin. He has a great eye for quality.
