That said, Capitol Coin Auction remains a top contender in all categories. Look at the care that Capitol takes with each lot description, this one showcasing a collection in which every coin therein is graded by auctioneer Brad Lisembee (click to expand photo):

Same holds for Dave Weaver who accurately describes condition of each lot in his auctions. Here’s an example:

John Leonard of Leonard Auction upholds the same standards as Lisembee and Weaver, providing excellent photos and descriptions. In our view he ranks among the most knowledgeable auctioneers on the Proxibid portal. A screenshot from his most recent auction:

For sheer number of auctions on Proxibid and the vast array of consignments–you’re apt to find almost any type coin here–few rival SilverTowne Auctions. From rare gold to tokens to slabbed coins and rarities, SilverTowne has it covered:

Best service terms on Proxibid, in addition to sharp photos and low low low buyer’s premium, goes to Meares Auction. Darron Meares is an experienced auctioneer who strives for superior customer service in all of his dealings. Take a look:

Most improved is Back to the Past auction. C. Scott Lovejoy worked with us for weeks to perfect photography. Take a look at this half dollar reverse in which full bell lines are easily seen. Can your auction provide the same detailed digital photography? Would that several on Proxibid could. See the evidence:

Our rankings this month featured most of our old standbys. However, several of our favorite houses have been dropped from our rankings only because they have not offered an online Proxibid session in the recent past. We value their operations so very much. As soon as we see a new event on Proxibid, they will return.

We remain impressed with A New Day Auction and its desire to continuously improve. Kendra Stevens, A New Day’s auctioneer, focuses on bidders as well as consignors in the great tradition of expert auctioneering. Sheena Wallace embodies the same admirable traits. Sheena is improving photography, as this example illustrates, showcasing an error cent (difficult to capture):

As we always note, our rankings are just that–ours. These are favorite houses. Your experience may differ from ours.

As for Proxibid, we are enroute to 55,000 views. We approached 15,000 views in the past year. The map below shows our global reach.

We will be reconfiguring and updating our website during the summer. We also are in the process of kindling a new numismatic book, available soon on our site, for online coin auctions, featuring best practices for selling on Proxibid and eBay. We hope you will download a copy when it becomes available. We hope that you find our site helpful.

If so, please consider making a donation to our scholarship fund, which is why we share our numismatic knowledge with Proxibid auctioneers and buyers, helping defray student debt to ensure the next generation of auction bidders.

Thank you for visiting our site.
