Furthermore, the websites, coin photography, auction listings and even logo design of the companies mentioned above as well as Themis are strikingly similar. I of course understand if you'd rather not go into detail, but since I greatly respect your numismatic expertise and am aware of the fact that you have much more insight into the auction market than most of us, I'd be truly interested to hear which of the smaller and less expensive auction houses you'd put into the category "also ran."[/QUOTE]
