Most trustworthy dealers on ebay and elsewhere - Ancient Coins

I'm very new to ancient coins, not even two months yet and have just started researching what I need to know (or at least think I need to know). As far as buying the coins goes, who would you consider trustworthy dealers on Ebay and elsewhere (links would be welcome if they are allowed here). Thank you for any help anyone can give me here.

Help received would be more effective if you told us roughly where you are. The answers would be different if you said Eastern US than if you said France. We don't need an address. This group has some dealer members and might help you find local coin shows.

 

I'm in Northern Virginia but I'm looking as much online - in fact, more so due to the fact that I travel a LOT for work - as I am for local shows etc. Thank you for responding so quickly.

And they're in North Carolina

 

Here is my list - I am sure this will turn into an absolute pile on thread (especially listing eBay sellers)!!....

Enjoy.. I don't know many but I try to help new members..

Also Frank Robinson has a new auction up - closing February 11th:
Main site: http://www.fsrcoin.com/
Current Auction: http://fsrcoin.com/j.html

He has a few auctions per year.. just takes bids by email.
I have never been disappointed and highly recommend his auctions.

Would love to see more suggestions posted....

 

I second your choice of Victor clark and I also highly recommend Holding History on Bay, he is a member of this board.

 

How about adding to the list?

 

I will when I get a chance. I am about to give a lecture to 300 so I am a little pre-occupied at the moment. I should have a chance after the lecture.

 

Spartans?

 

LOL. I highly doubt any of them speak greek either.

 

Some good ones listed already. I am a Forum fan too. Here is a couple more.

https://bnumis.com In French but very fair and trust worthy.

http://www.rudnik.com/new/rud_home.php?home=Main+Page Another dealer rarely mentioned but very good. Always has interesting coins, web site can be a bit annoying though. Again trust worthy and fair.

Enjoy!

 

Did not know about https://bnumis.com ... nice!
I also agree that Rudnik's website will make you want to pull your hair out...
But I have purchased from him and he was very easy to deal with.

 

Also http://augustuscoins.com/
has an excellent FAQ site for beginners http://augustuscoins.com/ed/numis/
and a list of dealers.

(Missing eBay - very unfortunate as this is the largest marketplace - but dangerous for beginners.. thus the need for guidance other than "don't use it")

 

Marc Breitsprecher is on my mind since I just bought a fabulous coin from him. Paid for it Sunday night, received it in the mail today. Impressive! He's an experienced and trustworthy dealer located in Ft. Worth, TX. https://mrbcoins.com/

 

I have used both MA Shops and Vcoins and been happy. On those I have purchased from:

Marc Breitsprecher
Tom Vossen
Ken Dorney
Aegean Numismatics
Harford Coin Company

 

Vcoins, has a nice selection, ancients, world, US et cetera. They auction,
Gary in Washington

 

I have nothing to add, yet, as I would have to look at my coins again. However, ALL of the ones listed above I had done business with and have always been pleased.

 

YES! Marc is one of my favorite dealers. I have bought many coins from him. He has an excellent selection, great prices, and professional service.
I have to add Incitatus Coins as one of my favorites dealers as well.

 

www.cngcoins.com biweekly e auctions are good.

 

There are two good shows a year at NOVA in Annandale next 25th of July and quarterly in Vienna with the next on the 25th of January.
