Bowers and Merena Auctions

Founded in 1983, our firm has grown to become America's leading rare coin auctioneer. We have handled four of the five most valuable United States coin collections ever sold. Topped by the $44,900,000 Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr., Collection, and then followed by the Harry W. Bass, Jr. Collection which has realized more than $38,000,000. We also handled the $25,000,000 Garrett Collection for The Johns Hopkins University, and the $20,000,000 Norweb Collection. In addition, Bowers and Merena holds three of the top seven world-record auction prices for U.S. coins.* Our reference books and catalogues have received more "Publication of the Year Award" and other honors than have those of any other firm. Over the years, The Guinness Book of World Records has devoted more space to the records held by Bowers and Merena Auctions than to all of our competitors combined!
