<p>[QUOTE="Dafydd, post: 4578568, member: 86815"]Err I think worrying about dealers outside of North America is somewhat Parochial unless you can inform me of any ancient coin ever made in the USA? I have a Caurausian coin that came out of the ground last year and will form part of my Usurpers collection and no doubt will end up with a dealer when I pass. It will go to a UK dealer but because he is not American does not mean he is not to be trusted. Denant are good and reputable but charge top dollar, Lodge Antiquities are also good as are a plethora of other people such as Michael Trenerry who only works from printed lists in the UK but is erudite and his grades are fair and below most other dealers but realistic. At the end of the day it is Caveat Emptor and I have bought bad coins and usually greed enthused my decision but fortunately I was not so stupid in recent years not to ensure I had a fallback position and could return them. If it is too good to be true it usually is and Ebay is a good example but bargains are to be had if you do your homework.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
