[QUOTE="Andrew McCabe, post: 7315422, member: 90666"]"It varies" is as accurate as one can get I expected and saw as usual a host of comments about high commissions charged. - Roma and CNG employ vast numbers of staff, all at degree level, whose sole job is to photograph, research and write up coins. And both have expensive premises in London, and/or host multi table booths at large coin shows needed to ensure consignments are as easy as possible. It's very expensive - a quick look at Sixbid or Numisbids shows it's hardly a monopoly that allows one to charge high prices. The landscape is fiercely competitive and both quality (competence) and pricing play a factor. The prices charged by the most active firms - in volume of ancients sold that's certainly Roma and CNG reflects this competitive business environment.
