Since then, our Hong Kong operations have grown by leaps and bounds, with auction sales approaching $70 million USD in 2022. Kelvin, whose expertise is well known and who is so highly respected among both his peers and collectors, will be a tremendous resource for our clients and further establish us as the numismatic leader in Asia.”
“Stack’s Bowers Galleries is a legendary firm with global reach and operations and has long been the leading numismatic auctioneer in Asia. I am excited to join their team where I will have the chance to work with the best professionals and most exciting objects in numismatics,” stated Kelvin.
