Highlights from the December PCGS Trade and Grade Collectors Choice Online Auction

A few months ago, Stack’s Bowers Galleries and PCGS announced that Stack’s Bowers Galleries is now the official auctioneer for their popular “Trade and Grade” coin shows. The first auction under this arrangement was held to much excitement in October. The second sale is being held on December 22 and 23, and comprises three sessions, including an always popular “Old Holder” session.
