[QUOTE="John Conduitt, post: 7652858, member: 109923"]I can add a few good: Spink Dix Noonan Webb Chris Rudd Davissons Stephen Album These seem good but I haven't used them much: HD Rauch Leu Noble (the shipping from Australia is the issue) I might even add Coins.ee to this list, who are based in Estonia (much maligned in the Katz post) but seem competent, and Numisbalt in Lithuania. I mean, if you want Eastern European coins and can't use Katz because of their general incompetence (I believe it's that rather than dishonesty)... As for ugly - I think London Coins are reputable but their auction 'technology' is terrible. Here's my latest, a Northumbrian sceatta from CNG: [B]Eanbald II [B]Archbishop of York Sceatt, 796-837[/B][/B] [ATTACH=full]1315712[/ATTACH] [B]York. Silver, 13.5mm, 1.10g EA • (NB) A • LD • (retrograde, read from outside-in) around central cross pattée. + EDILVARD ([B]Æthelweard moneyer[/B]) around central cross pattée (SCBI 29 Merseyside, 123 var; EMC 1997.0430; CNG 111, lot 1057). [/B]Only the SCBI, EMC and CNG 111 pieces published with this obverse.[/QUOTE]
