A mail bid sale is an auction where all bids are submitted in writing. The mail
bid sale helps the collector to better determine the value of a note, which benefits both
buyer and seller, as the note’s selling price is the result of input from thousands of
participants and not just the opinion of a single specialist.

THE CATALOGUE :
All DESCRIPTIONS have been made in good faith. We have
included all the information we thought helpful - not only to the collector but to the
scholar as well. This sale contains banknotes that range from rare to extremely rare.
After the sale, the notes will have dispersed in your various collections, but the data
will remain available to everyone.
The
OPENING BIDS
are the minimum bids that will be accepted.
ESTIMATES
are, in our opinion, the approximative values of each lot. Of course,
this evaluation can only be accurate for notes that appear often enough on the market to
satisfy collector demand. As many of the banknotes in this sale have not been offered for
years, estimates for many items may be somewhat conservative. The rarer the note, the
farther off our estimate may be. In any case, it is never intended as a maximum.
