Hi, I noticed their listings as well today on eBay and did some digging Thought I'd share for anyone thinking about a raw coin purchase on eBay (not sure what's going on with their business site listings, but agree it's confusing)? I was able to locate some information that helps a little with corroborating the father's background in numismatics:

Several late 70's archive meeting notes from the "Illinois Numismatic Association Coin Digest", where it lists the father, Dwight Berger, as a Dealer (one of the archive links provided below): https://archive.org/stream/illinoisnumismat7810illi/illinoisnumismat7810illi_djvu.txt

D & L Coin Show, Ramada Inn, Highways 1-90 & 31 (South
Exit). 10-4:30. Free parking and admission. Monthly show
specials. Tables: Dwight Berger, Box 331, Crystal Lake, 111. 60014.

2014 Heritage Sale citing a past Dwight Berger sale/auction for a rare Mormon $10 Gold coin: https://coins.ha.com/itm/territorial-gold/1849-10-mormon-ten-dollar-au58-ngc-k-3-r7/a/1204-5455.s

3. AU53 PCGS. Waldo Newcomer, exhibited at the 1916 ANA Convention; "Col." E.H.R. Green; Jerome Kern; Golden Jubilee Sale (B. Max Mehl, 5/1950), lot 728, realized $2,600; Amon Carter, Sr.; Amon Carter, Jr.; Carter Family Collection (Stack's, 1/1984), lot 1163, realized $132,000; ANA Signature Auction (Heritage, 7/1988), lot 2691; Dwight Berger; Robert L. Hughes; ANA Signature Auction (Heritage, 8/1992), lot 2592; Heritage Auctions; Thomas, Don Kagin; private collection.

And, the son's name popped up on a Google search, citing his location as CA, and his hometown as Crystal Lake, IL, which appears to be where his father was a coin dealer.
