I can share my n=3 experience: I sold a rare (only 2-3 known) Cnut Danish penny via CNG, but first emailed as many auction houses I could find. In the end, I chose the one with the highest estimate, but, in hindsight, should probably have chosen the auction house with a slightly lower estimate but more specialized in Anglo-Saxon coinage. The coin had an estimate of 2000 USD, and sold for 1900 USD in the featured auction- the auctioneer told me beforehand however that he wouldn't be surprised if it sold for over 3000 USD. A nice, but not rare, Aethelred penny was estimated at 200 USD and sold for the estimate - which was a bit too low in my opinion. </p><p><br /></p><p>I am currently consigning a few ancients with CNG, and I should note that the seller premium (15% at CNG) is negotiable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
