[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2074119, member: 56859"]I like any auction that has coins I want :D. Factors which sometimes steer me away are high fees (21+%) and/or poor customer service. In terms of auction houses I buy from most often are: CNG (large selection, accurate attributions, frequent auctions, buyer's fees are moderate) Roma Numismatics Pecunem (superduper fast shipping, low fees, large selection of good but not super high-end coins) Heritage is also good but it seems like the overall quality of their coins has diminished lately... plus they're starting to slab almost everything. I prefer unslabbed coins but as long as the price isn't bumped up by slabbing, I don't care. It's easy enough to remove the coin. Frankly, slabbing doesn't seem to be causing a noticeable bump in price. Recently I've purchased a couple of coins from Jencek's auctions. He has very low fees. The selection isn't as vast as major auction houses but sometimes there are interesting coins at good prices. Another worth mentioning is Davissons. I just bought my first auction coin from them.
