The following is an article excerpt from CoinweekCoins of exceptional beauty often deriving from famous old collections are a specialty of Harlan J. Berk, Ltd. The firm's latest Buy or Bid Sale, which closes on 30 April 2015, offers collectors a choice of 542 ancient coins, plus 21 coins of the world and 46 antiquities or antique maps.
Harlan J. Berk, Ltd., founded in 1964, has acquired a world-wide reputation for the excellent selection of ancient coins that the firm offers about five times a year in their Buy or Bid Sales. The Buy or Bid format was invented by Harlan J. Berk and has been adopted by several other American firms too. It offers the buyer two choices. Either he may purchase any coin at the asking price and have it delivered to him immediately, an option that may make excellent sense, considering how the prices for choice material have been skyrocketing in recent auction sales. Or the customer may submit a lower bid, at or above the firm's reserve, and may find that he has acquired a fabulous coin at a bargain price, if his bid is the highest when the sale closes, in this case on 30 April 2015. Berk's catalogues are therefore always worth close scrutiny, and the offerings in the present catalogue are particularly noteworthy, due to recent purchases at the New York International, the world's largest bourse for dealers and collectors of ancient coins.
