I think it is a big red flag if they are made aware of the fakes and do not pull them. Unfortunately, I think most auctions have a few fakes at...
thanks! Yes, by far my favorite recent acquisition. Two caesars to go…
So far, yes, though I have often been tempted by Greek gold
Definitely one of the reasons I focus on provenanced coins. Of course, many coins with older pedigrees have also been “manipulated,” but very...
It has been a while since I posted some new purchases, largely as I have not had much time to photograph. After receiving my Heritage wins, I...

I tend to only run those coins through that look as if they “should” have a pedigree, so my success rate is somewhat higher. That said, ex numis...

Great coin! That piece caught my eye when it went up!
Yes, I have done this before. Once you get the appropriate CBP form on file, you won’t have to do it again for the rest of the calendar year.
I have purchased three unsold lots. In each case, I’d found pedigrees that were missing from the auction listing, and that I believe made the coin...

True, but they also have in person auctions and more than their fair share.
Bertolami has had a lot of issues with fakes. I would be wary. I know many who will not bid on anything without a pedigree.
It will definitely always be my “centerpiece” coin. I think the portrait really stands out from the pack. It’s particularly delicate for Roman...
Thank you!
the Vitellius looks quite nice to me! As you can tell from my own, I don’t care as much about the legends (save for some issues where the legend...
These are beautiful. I particularly like your Galba. There are some aurei of his that are either the same obverse die or most assuredly cut by the...
Possibly a money-changer or something of the sort? The bronzes look almost neatly cut to me.
