About this shop
Deals in ancient Greek, Roman Republic, Roman Imperial and Byzantine coins along with British, German and other world coins, with a specialization in Greek and more particularly Seleucid coinage. The main service is auction representation, covering pre-auction advice on lot selection and bid levels, research on specific lots, on-location viewing with written notes, live bidding, and collection of winning lots, payment and shipping. The firm also handles appraisals and advises collectors weighing sale at auction against donation to an institution, including valuation and negotiation with auction firms. The downtown Chicago gallery, opened in connection with Swiss auction house Numismatica Ars Classica, carries fixed-price stock from both NAC and the firm's own inventory and is open by appointment only.
- Shanna Schmidt founded the business in 2016, after working in her father Harlan J. Berk's firm from 2005 as an ancient coin specialist.
- Clients can consign to NAC and Naville auctions through NAC USA, which imports North American purchases to the Chicago office and ships within the United States and Canada.
- Schmidt has been a full member of the Professional Numismatists Guild since 2008, a Fellow of the American Numismatic Society since 2019, and an ANA board governor, and formerly served on the board of the International Association of Professional Numismatists.
- She is a co-founder and former educational director of the History in Your Hands Foundation and a founder of the Chicago Coin Expo coin bourse.
