I've used them as both buyer and seller. Had great experiences both ways. I agree with some that prices can get out of hand with multiple bidders,...
This made me pull out my Davenport book on European Crowns. There are some really neat issues From Naples/Sicily. I'm curious... are the Crowns...
Yep. Just pulled it out of my library. The Gold Indians of Bela Lyon Pratt. Not only is it a fascinating biography of Pratt (Schein got Pratt's...

I'm on the XF train, but with gradeflation these days...

XF 40 - cleaned
