[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 592368, member: 15309"]Okay, I will chime in. Heritage is by far the best place to acquire rare coins at auction. Anything you want will eventually show up in one of their auctions. There catalogs and website features are the best in the business. Despite the criticisms, their photos are phenomenal given the volume of coins they must photograph each week. Just recently, that have even become quite good a photographing toned coins, albeit only the lots with the oversized photos. I have only one major criticism with Heritage and that is their shipping practices. I don't mind waiting a few weeks for the coin as I know that they have thousands of lots to handle, but I hate the fact that they will just shove thousands of dollars worth of rare coins in your mailbox for anyone to steal. If they started shipping with signature confirmations over $500, I would be complaint free. I can't even complain about their consignment directors. They assign one to your account and he/she calls once per year. They call to see if you have any coins to consign and when you say no, they very politely thank you and move on. No pressure or sales tactics, they just accept your answer to their simple question. Heritage is at the pinnacle of the rare coin auction business.[/QUOTE]
