For Americans wishing they could participate in The Great Canadian Treasure Hunt, there is a new opportunity stateside. This month, the rare coin dealer and auction house Stack’s Bowers Galleries is inviting the public to join in on a treasure hunt to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the firm’s first auction. Certificates for rare coins and banknotes will be hidden in New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, and Miami, all cities where the auction house has retail store fronts. Each winner will also receive a copy of the 2026 Guide Book of United States Coins. Timing our nationwide treasure hunt to coincide with the 90th anniversary of our first auction in October 1935 is a wonderful way to do that.”Participation in the treasure hunt is free to anyone and everyone.
