stu62 Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 I saw some interesting things at the latest Ponterio Auction. Their procedures are a bit more complicated than Heritage or E-bay. I was wondering if anyone has experiance good or bad with this firm? I asked them for pictures and they sent them promptly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpnyc Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 I've wanted to bid on their auctions before but, like you said, their procedures are "complicated" to the point of being annoying. They would get more bids if they made bidding easier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlueke Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 I do get their catalogs and have bid in the past. They are very good at communications and the coins have been accurately represented. They have been the auctioneers for the CICF (sencond largest world coin show in the US) for quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a matter of fact their current CICF auction is what interests me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlueke Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 As a matter of fact their current CICF auction is what interests me. Bid, bid away I'm thinking about a coin or two as well. I'll probably wait to bid until I can view the lots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDJMSP Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 I've dealt with Ponterio on many occasions - never had a single problem. IMO they are one of the most trusted names in the business. They also have some of the most knowledgeable people in the world today for Spanish colonial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their recent offering of Spanish colonial is quite extensive. I will bid with confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu62 Posted April 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 A post script to this thread. i won a Japanese 1 yen 1881 with a gin left countermark, about $15 less than my max bid. It arrived timely and with no problem.I'll add them to my favorites list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
