TERMS OF SALE
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.
DATES :
Bids sheets must be received by no later than the close of business on October 22th, 2014
List of prices realized will be sent to bidders on October 24th, 2014

LOT VIEWING : The notes in this sale will be available for viewing at 36, rue Vivienne, 75002
Paris, and is by appointment only.
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 con-
tains 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.
BIDS : Submitting the bid sheet. Write your bids as clearly as possible on the bid sheet. Please
follow your own preference order. Do not forget to give your mailing address, daytime phone,
e-mails and fax numbers. Please specify if your bids can be increased by 10, 20 or 30% if neces-
sary, in order to obtain the lots you want. You may submit as many bids as you wish and you may
set a total spending limit amount cutoff. No bids will be accepted for less than the opening bids.
Any bids under these amounts will be ignored as well as cents in bids including cents of euros.
Submission of a bid constitues a guarantee to pay for all lots won. All bidders are responsible for
the bids they submit, including bids made on the behalf of third parties. This is not an approval
sale. Don’t forget to sign your bid sheet !

slow mail delivery. To avoid any delay, please fax a copy of your bid sheet to +33-1-42 33 25 99
