<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirispupis, post: 7745807, member: 118780&quot;]Personally, I have high opinions of Savoca. I&#039;ve purchased from them multiple times and I&#039;ve always been happy. I practically lived off their blue auctions when I first started, and I still love poring through them because occasionally there are rarities.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing to note is they&#039;re a bit of &quot;wild west&quot; in that they rarely attribute their coins except to emperor, and I&#039;ve seen mistakes. I&#039;ve also seen some of the nicer coins they have get bid up way higher than they would in a higher end auction. In fact, I did this very thing in my first auction with them. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> My recommendation therefore is to stay under 50 Euros in their blue auctions unless you know the coin well.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another point, I recently found a misattributed coin on Nomos. The coin itself was genuine and rare, but they attributed it to a ruler whose coins are near impossible to find, when in fact it was minted by someone whose coins are common. It&#039;s not the first time I&#039;ve seen someone misattribute this coin, so I believe this was a mistake and not ill will, but it does illustrate that regardless of the auction house, you need to know your coin. FWIW, I&#039;ve bought from Nomos and have been very happy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
