While attending the Central States Convention last week, the Stack’s Bowers Galleries team enjoyed the Professional Numismatists Guild’s Annual Award Banquet where CEO Greg Roberts was presented with the Harvey G. Stack Lifetime Achievement Award. This award recognizes numismatists for their devotion to numismatics and for their significant additions to the body of PNG membership. Greg is a highly skilled professional who continues to spearhead innovative programs to enhance collecting in today’s market.
Like so many of our collectors today, Greg’s interest in coins was sparked by an uncle who gifted him a coin album for Christmas. Greg was one of those eager teenagers trading on the bourse floor while still in high school and ended up selling coins to his high school principal as well as his friends. His decades of enthusiasm and hard work led to the formation of a multi-billion dollar organization with affiliates headquartered on three continents.
Greg has been named as one of Coin World’s Most Influential People for four years (since its inception) and was honored in CoinAge’s Book of Lists as one of the World’s Greatest Coin Graders. In 2020, he was inducted into the Professional Coin Grading Society’s Coin Dealer Hall of Fame and in 2011 he received the American Numismatic Association Harry J. Forman Dealer of the Year Award, presented to an ANA-member dealer who shows uncommon dedication to strengthening the hobby. Greg is a member of the Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG), a life member of the American Numismatic Association (ANA), and a member of the Industry Council for Tangible Assets (ICTA)
On behalf of everyone here at SBG, heartfelt congratulations to Greg!
