Roman Collector Posted April 22 · Patron Share Posted April 22 I got an email this morning from Bertolami is holding an auction of ancient coins and I notice it's in Prague. It requires even longtime customers to reregister and provide ID. Does anyone know what's behind this move? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Conduitt Posted April 22 · Supporter Share Posted April 22 Are you sure it isn't just a new subsidiary? They still seem to be in Italy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor kirispupis Posted April 22 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted April 22 I believe they often hold their auctions in other countries, I assume due to Italian export regulations. I've seen at least one based out of London. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benefactor DonnaML Posted April 22 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted April 22 I've made one purchase (at retail) from Bertolami, a Roman Republican coin, back in November 2020. Before I made the purchase, given my concern about exports from Italy, I asked them where the coin was located. They informed me that it was at their London office, and, therefore, that no export license was required. It certainly appears that they are a multinational firm. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
