Page Background

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 coin, which benefits both buyer and seller, as the

coin’s selling price is the result of input from thousands of participants and not just the opinion of a single specialist.

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 coins that range from rare to extremely rare. After the sale, the coins

will have dispersed in your various collections, but the data will remain available to everyone.

GRADING

has been strict and realistic.

REFERENCE

books have been chosen for each coin to help each collector to attribute every coin with precision. A

BIBLIOGRAPHY

is provided with a listing of all books used in the preparation of this catalogue.

The

OPENING BIDS

have been determined in consultation with each consignor, and constitute 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

coins that appear often enough on the market to satisfy collector demand. As many of the coins in

MONNAIES 58

have not

been offered for years, estimates for many items may be somewhat conservative. The rarer the coin, the farther off our estimate

may be. In any case,

it is never intended as a maximum

.

EXPORT:

Due to a change in French legislation, we are now systematically required to obtain an export certificate from the Min-

istry of Culture before sending coins dating before 1500 and worth more than 1 500 euros to all countries. It Usually

takes us four weeks to obtain these documents.

Coins sent to countries within the European Union require no formalities. Time and care are needed for coins exported outside of the

European Union. We thank you in advance for your patience. Customers wishing their coins exported would help us greatly if they

would state clearly and in detail how and where they wish to receive their coins, and what, if any, insurance they might have for such

shipments.Actualcosts(

minimum : 15 euros, and, maximum : 100 euros

) for shipping and export will be added to your invoice.
