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.

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 60
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
.
