Testimonials
• From Larry Smith:
"Thank You,

I want to thank you Mike, for following through with the marketing for my coins. I am impressed with the layout in the catalog, the pictures and the descriptions. I never imagined that I would own coins that would be featured in a Superior Catalog. You have done a great job.

Thank You again,
Larry"

• From Allan Mandelstamm:

"Dear Sil,

Just a brief note to let you know how pleased I was with my experience with you and Superior up to and including the Auction. Your visit with us, the evaluation of the coins, the cataloguing, and the advertising were all terrific. Furthermore, I could not be happier with the auction results, which I considered to be nothing short of spectacular.

I would like to thank you, Larry Abbott, Paul Song and the rest of your excellent staff for all your fine services on my behalf. Mike Bonham deserves special praise for the help he gave me in accumulating the collection.

Kindest Regards,
Allan Mandelstamm

• From Beth Hymson-Ayer:

"I am writing on behalf of my siblings and myself to highly commend your company for work done on our behalf to auction our coin collection.

Paul Song and Chris Bush are outstanding in their field. Their expertise, ability to clearly communicate the consignment process to those "unknowledgeable", and their attentiveness to the client is beyond reproach.

For 20 years, our family has been sitting with an inherited coin collection-not knowing how to go about liquidating it. All of the stories we had been warned about, because of our lack of knowledge on coins, paralyzed us into non-action. With the help of Paul and Chris, all of our fears, all of the "bad stories" were dispelled. Every step of the process was fully explained. And, no detail was left unaddressed.

Paul, in particular, walked me through each step with patience, clarity and yes, even humor! Chris' ability to instill a feeling of trust with my siblings during the "move" of our collection cross-country was most impressive.

Thank you for assembling such an honest, patient, outstanding group of individuals! On behalf of our family and "The Mort Collection", we are sincerely grateful."

• From Philip L. Wagner:

"Dear Superior Co.,

You do indeed produce the finest quality coin auction literature. I have enjoyed the last two catalogs that I have received....I know your fine catalogs are expensive to produce and expensive to process and mail..... Best of luck with your Santa Clara "Elite Coin Auction".

Regards,
Phil

• From C. Byron Behrens:

"I received a hard copy of the Pre-Long Beach Elite Coin Auction today and I had to respond that I thought you have put together a fantastic auction. Congratulations on a superb effort. The offerings are stunning."

• From John Kontratick:

"Thank you for your catalogs. I think they're beautiful, historical and really a treasure. All my best to you and your company."

• PreTurb from Collector's Universe web message boards:

"Sweet catalog. Much higher than typically seen!"

• Lakesammman from Collector's Universe web message boards:

"I was looking through the Superior catalog tonight and there are a lot of nice toned coins in there!"

• RYK from Collector's Universe web message boards:

"I think it is terrific. The coins are attractively photographed.... even the gold coins look toned."

• Darktone from Collector's Universe web message boards:

• "This is one of the best auction catalogs I have ever seen. The pictures are great and tons of toned coins! If you don't get these catalogs, this one would be worth the price to buy!"

• "Take my word, get the Superior catalog - it's great! It makes the B&M Baltimore catalog look like a kids coloring book."

• From Another Superior Customer:

"You obviously have a very perceptive eye. I think you should preview any coin I'm thinking of buying. Or maybe it would be simpler if I just bought all my coins through you."

• From Dr. Donald F. Knoack:

"You are a true gentleman and scholar whose diligence and attention to detail kept me as a customer for all those years."

• From Tom Stone:

"I just received the coin (Lot 4005) and wanted to let you know that I am extremely pleased, not only with the coin but also with the entire transaction, from the initial web bidding through delivery. You have definitely earned my repeat business and I will encourage others to participate in your auction."

• From Gregory Nye:

"I was pleased doing business with Superior Galleries; I will do much more business with you in the future."

• From Joe Kessler:

"I am pleased that Superior is on the ball already regarding this auction. My impression is that Superior Galleries is a class act."

• From Doris K. Roane:

"The purpose of this letter is to express my sincere appreciation for the invaluable help that Superior Galleries and Silvano DiGenova in particular, provided to me in the examining and valuation of my coin collection. When completed, I had a clear estimate of their value backed up by guaranteed funds to me.

Superior's guarantee was significantly higher than any other company's estimates. In total, what Superior offered was better than any of their competitors. It was clear to me that they were interested in complete customer satisfaction and in getting the highest prices possible from the sale of my coins.

Mr. DiGenova was at all times available for me to speak with. He was easy to talk to and made me feel that he had my best interests at heart."

• From Michael Bobb:

"I wanted to let you know how pleased I have been with you and the fine staff of professionals at Superior Galleries. I've been a full time professional numismatist for the past twenty years, after first being a collector for thirty years.

I have had the opportunity to build many fine world class collections and as you know, my success was largely due to your guidance and assistance in helping to acquire the numerous rarities that I have assembled over the years.

The thrill of building these wonderful collections is only superseded by the experience and expertise of you and your staffs' ability to find consistent qualified buyers. I have always realized and experienced with confidence, the highest prices paid for both my coins and my customers through Superior Galleries World Class Auctions. I would also like to compliment your staff on the pride they take in developing one of the finest auction catalogs in the business.

In the numismatic arena, there are so many choices, but it is good to know that there is consistently one company uniquely qualified to provide a full circle of complete service."

• From Sam Cioffi:
" Mr. Michael Bonham
Superior Galleries
Beverly HiIlls, CA


Dear Mike,

I thought I'd drop a quick line to tell you how pleased we were with the results of the sale of coins we consigned to your recent Superior Galleries auction. We are also pleased about the level of service provided by you and other Superior Ga1teries staff with whom we have had contact.

From the time of our original purchase of the coins you recommended and their subsequent sale in the auction, the transactions with you and other Superior staff have been pleasant and highly professional

Again, please accept our thanks for the time and excellent advice you have given us in recent years.


Best regards,

Sam Cioffi"
• From Chancy Croft:
" Mr. Paul Inho Song, Vice President, Auctions
Superior Galleries

Dear Mr. Song:

I could not be more delighted and in fact flattered by the way you in particular and Superior Galleries in general handled the sale of my 1776 continental dollar. From the time I sent the coin to you in mid-September 2006 until I received the proceeds in mid-February the service was prompt by Heidi Merkin, professional by you and profitable to me beyond any prior expectation. Thanks for everything and I will keep the catalogue forever.

Very truly yours,

Chancy Croft"

• From James Newton Howard:
" Superior Galleries, Inc.
Attn.: Silvano DiGeriuva

Dear Silvano,

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the way you and the Superior staff handled my rare coin consignment.

Your expertise and professionalism no doubt contribilted to the excellent results I achieved in your auction-results that surpassed my expectations! Your staff was courteous and helpful, and from the time you picked up my coins to the day of settlement, my interactions with the Superior team were very pleasant. I will not hesitate to recommend Superior Galleries to my colleagues in the future.

Thanks again for a first-rate experience with your fine company,

James Newton Howard"


• From P. G. Griffith:
" Silvano DiGenova
Superior Galleries

Dear Silvano,

I wanted to take a moment to thank you and your firm for the stellar job which you did on behalf of our family in handling our “old time” family coin collection in your Beverly Hills Elite Auction.

Although we sold the first two portions of the collection through another firm before we became acquainted with your firm, your outstanding proposal and firm’s expertise in live auctions, the vagaries of the grading process and in sophisticated marketing convinced us to go with your firm for the final portion of this family collection.

With the complicated process of settling a sizable estate and with the needs of satisfying trust and estate officers, my siblings and I felt relief that you took the pain out of this entire process and made it a rewarding experience for us on many levels. Not to mention that the coins brought over 25% more than the estimated prices.

The catalogue and auction were simply superb and executed with the highest level of professionalism. As a truly full service auction firm, your auction advance was extremely helpful to us from a cash flow point of view, and even after the auction, your assistance with our handling and settling the estate for the past year has also been invaluable.

In summation, I would be delighted to heartily commend and recommend your firm to anyone who has need of numismatic appraisal and auction services. To this I can attest without qualification.

Yours sincerely,

P. G. Griffith
Massachusetts"
