Heritage and other reputable houses who deal in graded currency, most likely...but they still may make mistakes. Ungraded notes always carry a risk of course. Most of the higher "class" of auction house (those too rich for my blood such as Heritage) value their assessment abilities and strive hard to maintain the higher standards, its their lifeblood. ALWAY check return policies, ALWAYS!
I do what I call "secondary" online auctions. Usually the National local auction houses in a conglomerate venue, (grouped together for sales visibility). These can be risky, but they can be gems as well. I have seen both graded and raw US & World currencies that to my untrained eyes look genuine, the bids reflect a genuineness (or someone getting hosed?). But risky unless you know the currency game.
