Historic auction houses for world coins?

Hello all - I'm doing a bit of research on early varieties of Zacatecas coinage. For auction catalogs prior to about 2005, the Newman Numismatic Portal has been really helpful, but I have had more success going by auction house rather than using the search function.
My question is - who were the most prominent auctioneers of world coinage from the 60s - 2000? So far I have pretty much looked through all of Almanzar's and Superior Stamp and Coin, both had a good amount of Latin American coinage with some famous collections (Pradeau, Frank Lawson, Moreira). I do have Spink's Pablo Gerber Part II catalog. Any other suggestions?
Thank you!

Ponterio & Associates is one for Latin America; since acquired by Stacks.
Henry Christensen (50s-70s)
Hans Schulman (40s?-60s)
Not much variety collecting until the 2000s though.
The search function in the portal is almost useless. Searching via Archive.org is better.
Agree with the above and I’d also check to name a few:
Richard Long
Jesse Peters
Freeman Craig
Louis Collins
Paramount
Latin American Collection

Thank you all! Lots of new leads to sort through, looking forward to it!
