Stack’s Bowers Galleries is pleased to announce Wade Spencer will be joining the firm in their Tulsa, Oklahoma office, working as a Senior Numismatist alongside Executive Vice President Jason Carter in wholesale operations. 

“Wade has always demonstrated impressive talent and it’s been fun in recent years to watch him refine his skills,” stated Jason Carter. “But more importantly, Wade has a great work ethic and operates at a high standard of professionalism. I’m excited to work with him as we expand the footprint of Stack’s Bowers Galleries’ wholesale division.”

Wade is an accomplished numismatist and one of the most talented young people in the hobby today, having started his own successful firm, Legacy Coin Auctions, in 2021 at the age of 14. He has handled many notable rarities, has spent time grading on the PCGS team, and is widely recognized for his expertise. Wade is a member of the American Numismatic Association (ANA), and was the youngest grading instructor to teach a class at the ANA summer seminar. 

“We are excited to have Wade’s enthusiastic expertise as part of our Tulsa operations,” commented Stack’s Bowers Galleries President Brian Kendrella. “Wade will be making his Stack’s Bowers Galleries debut alongside Jason later this month at the ANA Convention in Oklahoma City.”
