<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 65673, member: 57463&quot;]My opinion of Harlan J. Berk here on Coin Talk is the same as it is on Coin People, where the same poster asked the same question.</p><p><br /></p><p>Harlan J. Berk is one of the most respected dealers in the United States and name known internationally in numismatics. As board member for the Professional Numismatists Guild (<a href="http://www.pngdealers.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pngdealers.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.pngdealers.com</a>) Harlan J. Berk arranged for the purchase and distribution of thousands of State Quarter Boards back in 1999 when the program was lauched. He funds the David R. Cervin Ancient Coin Project for young numismatists.

He knows what the material is worth because he sells only the best. If you buy a Very Fine 1944-P Mercury Dime and pay $1 for it, it will be a nice 44-P, accurately graded, no problems. </p><p><br /></p><p>As a client, I also know that at an ANA convention on a Friday morning, I told him that I would like to see a certain series of coins he did not have on display. He had them Fedexed in for me to look at. I told him how much money I had to spend and what I was looking for generally and he hit the nail on the head. I did not buy everything only because he offered a very full inventory of possibilities for me to choose from.</p><p><br /></p><p>Among the people on his staff are Tom DeLorey and Curtis Clay, two highly respected researchers and writers.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.harlanjberk.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.harlanjberk.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.harlanjberk.com/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
