Bostonians can go treasure hunting this week — with prizes that include rare coins and historic bank notes worth more than $10,000.
Stack’s Bower Galleries is hosting a citywide treasure hunt from Oct. 7 to 11, hiding one certificate each day at a Boston landmark. Each certificate can be redeemed for rare gold coins or historical banknotes dating back more than a century.
New clues will be released at 10 a.m. each day on the company’s Instagram page . The hunt is open to the public. Whoever finds a certificate must bring it to Stack’s Bowers’ Boston gallery to claim their prize.
Tuesday’s winner, for example, will take home a 1907 $2.50 gold coin. Later in the week, prizes include an 1881 Morgan silver dollar and a 1924 Saint Gaudens $20 gold piece worth $3,500, according to Stack’s B
