CoinWeek Podcast #131: Harvey Stack Reflects on Stack's at 57th Street

The CoinWeek Podcast is brought to you by PCGS. PCGS is happy to announce the latest hunt for modern numismatic rarities with the 2020 PCGS Quarter Quest just in time for the Great American Coin Hunt and National Coin Week. This program is designed to engage numismatists from around the country to cherrypick the elusive West Point minted quarters from circulation. PCGS graded 2019-W quarters were seen in auction with soaring prices with collectors taking to the PCGS Set Registry® to compete for the highest ranked set. In addition to being another set of circulating West Point minted rarities, these coins will feature a first for U.S. Quarters, a “V75” privy mark denoting the 75th anniversary of World War II.

Happy Hunting! *** This week on the CoinWeek Podcast, Stack’s Bowers co-founder Harvey Stack joins me to discuss his company’s recent move from their iconic 57th St. location. So much numismatic history transpired over the course the seven decades that Stack’s conducted business in the heart of midtown Manhattan- just across the street from the Russian Tea Room, a block away from Carnegie Hall and within walking distance from New York’s iconic Times Square. Over the course of this period, there wasn’t a month that went by that Stack’s didn’t offer up a major collection and through their doors walked some of the most storied figures in hobby history. Harvey reminisces on the place that he spent most of his adult life and the amazing impact Stack’s at 57th Street had on the hobby - next on the CoinWeek Podcast.
