<p>[QUOTE="DonnaML, post: 4802928, member: 110350"]Doesn't Coin Talk's (and FORVM's) own [USER=89514]@curtislclay[/USER] work there? Not only does Berk have a lot of really nice coins, and not only is he ahead of many other dealers in using videos, but I happen to think that his "buy" prices are quite reasonable in general. But isn't it really Aaron Berk (Harlan's son) who's the public face of the company now and responsible for the various innovations? I know Harlan is still listed as the first person in their catalogs, and was the author of the "100 Greatest Ancient Coins" book (which I have and very much like), but I'm under the impression that Aaron runs things at least as much as Harlan at this point. After all, Harlan Berk isn't exactly Jerome Eisenberg, but his store has been around since 1964 and he's around 80. So he may not be quite as active as he once was, as I understand it, and Aaron deserves some credit too. But here's an interesting interview with Harlan from a few years ago. I like what he has to say about slabs!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://coinweek.com/featured-news/coinweek-exclusive-interview-harlan-j-berk-on-the-modern-hobby-ancient-coins/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coinweek.com/featured-news/coinweek-exclusive-interview-harlan-j-berk-on-the-modern-hobby-ancient-coins/" rel="nofollow">https://coinweek.com/featured-news/coinweek-exclusive-interview-harlan-j-berk-on-the-modern-hobby-ancient-coins/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
