[QUOTE="Andrew McCabe, post: 7654247, member: 90666"]The good list is Heritage Goldberg NAC / Naville CNG Roma Hess Divo Kuenker Nomos Aureo Calico These nine auction companies are the only ones to routinely sell denarius types at over $50,000 each. Check AC or CA and you'll see this to be true. That means collectors and consigors trust this Group of Nine without reservations. No bargains. No debatable authenticity coins. Staffed by real experts There are a few also rans but tbh some companies listed in this thread are clueless on numismatics and authenticity and may have just got lucky These same companies also sell very cheap coins, notably the esales run by Naville, Roma and CNG. They use the same experts to evaluate the cheapies that sell under $100 as they do their $10000 coins. And to my certain knowledge the $100 coins get just as much scrutiny for authenticity. That's why I recommend, if in doubt, or if a newcomer to the hobby, to buy your inexpensive coins from dealers that top end collectors trust for their expensive coins. Bertolami is not on this list. Not Lanz nor several others whose sales are routinely seeded with fakes.[/QUOTE]
