As a relative newbie in this hobby (2 1/2 years collecting Ancient Romans), I thought I'd bring up this subject because it's still a bit disconcerting whenever I sign up for an auction house I've never used.

Who are the auction houses you trust to buy from?

I've had good experiences with the following European ones for low-mid range coins (under $300).

Roma Numismatics
HD Rauch
cgb.fr
Numismatik Naumann, GMBH

On the US side:
CNG
Heritage - Aware of the trouble another member has had with this one.

Who are some of your favorites?

I've had good experiences with Stacks-Bowers, Goldberg, Baldwin, and Kunker.

I haven't had any problems with the few coins I have bought from Heritage... especially since I can find a certain coin every week that I can make $100 on since people don't bid on it :D

This is an example of 1, but my first and only experience winning an auction was with Geoffrey Bell, here in Canada. It was a positive experience, and I did note that most of the lots sold, and many at a good price (good for the seller).

In addition to many of those mentioned above I have also bought from Naville Numismatics, and Agora. I have had positive experiences with both.

I am bumping this thread up with a question on whether anyone has done business with Bertolami.

It's a bit of a "horse-out-of-the-barn" situation, as I have some bids out for an auction this weekend, and I'm not sure how to read what I am seeing on current bid vs. max bid.

I just recently became an approved bidder for Bertolami auctions and plan to participate in their London auction next month via online pre-bidding.

I hope that dealing with them ends up being a pleasant experience for both of us, and that it results in some good wins for our collections.
