Best Auction House for Ancients?

I will be hauling a couple of boxes of NGC-slabbed Ancients to the CSNS show later this week to consign. Most of the coins are in the few to several hundred dollar range. I haven't decided whether to go with Heritage, Stack's, or Goldberg. I know that every auction is different, but does anybody out there have any opinion on which house typically gets the strongest results for these types of coins? Thanks !

You may want to consider an established eBay dealer who handles this stuff. I deal regularly with 'gmarguli' (aka Twelve Caesars Numis.) on eBay. Try reaching out to him to see which will be more suitable for you exact situation. He is a forum member on the NGC site as 'gmarguli' if you want to avoid the eBay messaging service. His email is ebay@twelve-caesars.com.
It's been my experience that the small guys will be less impersonal to small/modest consignors.

How does one get a hater to stop hating?

is that Classical Numismatic Group does an excellent job. I have
bought several coins for my collection and CNG is dead on the mark
with descriptions. They seem to get a little bit more for foreign coins.
If the dollar value is rather large (total consignment) then Heritage may go with a floor
session rather than internet. My first choice would be CNG.
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
