Results Set Record for the Firm's Highest Grossing Auction Sale in its 90+ Year History.
The Clark Gruber “Mountain $20,” has been considered a key to the pioneer gold series since the early 20th century. Today, there are only 15 examples encapsulated at either of the third- party grading services, and a trio of genuine, ungradable examples are known. There are three uncirculated Mountain $20s in private hands, and any lustrous, original coin would qualify for the condition census. In 2006, numismatists Andy Lustig, Ron Karp, and David J. McCarthy discovered a proof striking of the Mountain $20 that apparently traced its provenance back to Emanuel Henry Gruber.

Greysheet News
While reviewing the initial results in various categories of recent auctions, my initial take is that the sales were moderate to strong.
More than 300 lots, consisting of high quality Walking Liberty half dollars from the Mack C. Chase Collection are set to cross the auction block as part of Stack's Bowers Galleries' November Showcase Auction, the official auction of the Whitman Expo.
