"For five days beginning Tuesday, Oct. 28, employees of Stack's Bowers Galleries, a rare-coin dealer and auctioneer, will be hiding certificates around Miami-Dade County, redeemable for hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of rare coins and banknotes. On three of the five days, the prizes will be gold coins, two from the United States and one from Venezuela. Participation is open to all."
"The only hint so far: The certificates will be placed in "iconic locations." "Each day there will be a riddle that will tell approximately where it is," said William Conroy, the gallery's head numismatist in Miami. Certificate finders must post their selfies on social media, but an employee will be stationed nearby to help the winners through the redemption process, he said. The firm has been conducting similar hunts around other cities that house its retail galleries, including New York, Boston and Philadelphia."
Stack's Bowers Galleries will hide redeemable certificates around Miami-Dade County for five days beginning Oct. 28, with prizes redeemable for hundreds or thousands of dollars in rare coins and banknotes. Three prizes are gold coins, including two U.S. coins and one from Venezuela. Daily clues will be posted on Facebook and Instagram at 10 a.m., with an employee nearby to assist winners and winners asked to post selfies. The firm has run similar hunts in other gallery cities. Gold prices have surged above $4,000 per ounce, and younger collectors under 25 are increasingly active online, while the average collector remains about 55 and predominantly male.
