will host our online auctions, as well as provide space to view collections and bid in-person. With the
ability to send and receive feeds around the world, this nearly 5,000 square foot studio represents the next
generation of coin auctions and will firmly cement Stack’s Bowers Galleries’ position as the industry leader.
Unlike standard broadcast facilities, Griffin Studios has been uniquely designed to host numismatic
auctions. Alongside a main set for auctions (with dedicated space for live bidders), a central room will
allow for viewing, presentations, and hospitality. A grand entrance provides guests with a stunning view
of the studio and impressive control room. We aim to bring a sense of occasion and attract excitement to
every event, directly increasing bidding competition and revolutionizing our auction presentation.
