[QUOTE="Cringely, post: 788100, member: 22271"]Heritage may be good for coins, but be aware that they deal with hundreds to thousands of coins at each auction. Unless they feel that your coin(s) are of unique quality, they will be treated as a commodity. If you are selling what you think is a truly rare set of coins that will need special marketing to ensure maximum return, be sure (and this pertains to all auction houses) that you understand (and get agreement from the auction house) exactly what they will do to sell your coins. For example, if you have a hoard: will they advertise it, will they create a catalog, will they promote it as a major component (or item) at an upcoming show, or will they just sent them/it off to be slabbed and listed in either their weekly auction or perhaps as a minor addition in the next available auction catalog?
