Downingtown, PA — Get ready for an extraordinary opportunity to own some of the finest coins and jewelry on the market at Pook & Pook’s upcoming Coins & Jewelry Auction on March 26th & 27th, 2025. This exciting event will be held exclusively online via PookLive and Bidsquare, featuring hundreds of rare and valuable items, many of which are coming directly from the vaults of the Pennsylvania Treasury Department’s Bureau of Unclaimed Property.
The gallery exhibition will take place on March 24th & 25th from 10 AM to 4 PM at Pook & Pook’s gallery in Downingtown, PA, where you can view all of these incredible pieces in person before bidding begins.
Pook & Pook is an exceptional auction house with a rich history. This auction is particularly special, as it includes a variety of fascinating items deaccessioned from the vault of the Pennsylvania Treasury Department’s Bureau of Unclaimed Property. These treasures were once held by the state, awaiting their rightful owners. However, after thorough due diligence on the part of the Treasury in seeking out those owners, a portion of these unclaimed items must periodically be offered at auction, providing bidders with the rare opportunity to acquire these exceptional pieces. Pook & Pook has had the distinguished honor of working with the state and assisting with this important process for the past decade.
Coins and jewelry are not only beautiful and collectible—they’re also wise investments. As precious metals like gold and silver fluctuate in value, owning rare coins and fine jewelry can be a hedge against inflation, making them a secure and potentially profitable asset for years to come. Rare coins, in particular, have historically shown strong appreciation in value, while high-quality jewelry made from platinum, gold, and diamonds remains an enduring symbol of prosperity and beauty. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a first-time buyer, this auction offers a perfect opportunity to invest in items that will hold lasting value.
