I, for one, thought that he was selling single roll lots. I must not have been the only one. I think the winning bidder even thought it was for a...
That's very cool. For sure, any auctioneer could set discretionary reserves to protect consignors. For all I know, he may have evolved his current...

A few months ago I bought a couple coins from a local auctioneer that turned out to be fakes. I brought them to two coin shops which said they...
