With the founding of NAC USA, Numismatica Ars Classica and Shanna Schmidt are forminga strategic partnership to improve NAC's services for American customers. Thanks to NACUSA, American customers can buy and sell via NAC as though the European auction housewere located in the United States.

Anyone who's interested in high-quality ancient and Italian coins will be familiar with theauction house Numismatica Ars Classica (NAC) located in London, Zurich and Milan. It isone of the world's most important auction houses, especially when it comes to high qualityancient and Italian coins. Here's a good example to illustrate this: NAC is responsible forseven of the ten best results ever achieved for Roman gold coins at auction.

Originally based in Naples, the company's founder Roberto Russo decided to relocate to theSwiss city of Zurich, which was the center of the international coin trade at the time. A decadeago, NAC opened its London office. Now, his sons Arturo and Giuliano Russo are going astep further: they are founding an additional NAC location in Chicago. And as a partner,they've secured one of the best-known and most creative personalities in the American tradein ancient coins: Shanna Schmidt.

From a very young age, Shanna Schmidt has known the world of numismatics inside out, andshe's been working in the coin trade for several decades. She also has an academicbackground. Her Master's thesis covered the cultural property debate, with a particular focuson ancient coins. Shanna Schmidt has been working as an independent coin dealer in Chicagosince 2016. She has excellent connections and represents some of America's most prominentcollectors at auctions around the world.Shanna Schmidt is committed to a vision: she wants to bring the European and Americanmarkets closer together. You might say that she was predestined to follow this path: after all,in addition to her first language, she also speaks fluent German.

Consigning coins to and buyingthem from NAC will be as easy as doing business with a U.S. company. There are no longerany problems with money transfers or customs formalities.
