Exclusively Internet™ Auction Terms and Conditions
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an Exclusively Internet™ sale held by Heritage Numismatic Auctions, Inc., a licensed or bonded auctioneer (the "Auctioneer"). By placing a bid, a bidder accepts these Terms and Conditions of Sale, and agrees to be bound.
A Buyer's Premium is charged in addition to the successful bid. The applicable Buyer's Premium for this Auction is an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the successful bid.
Outage Policy. Our highest priority is your trading success. However, Heritage occasionally experiences outages during which bidders cannot place bids or cannot effectively locate items. When these outages occur, we offer this Outage Policy to compensate for your inconvenience. We will extend the auction 24 hours until 10:00pm Central Time the following day, if and only if the downtime occurs on the final day of the auction, and if the downtime exceeds two hours or occurs for more than a half hour during the final hour of the auction. At our discretion, Heritage may consider two outages that occur very closely to one another to be one outage when extending the auction. A notice will be sent to all bidders and will be posted on the auction page notifying all users of the extension. This policy applies only to problems that we might have and not to isolated problems that occur in various parts of the country from time to time.
Scheduled Downtime. Heritage periodically schedules system downtime for maintenance and other purposes. This scheduled downtime is not covered by this policy.
THE CONSIGNOR OF PROPERTY MAY PARTICIPATE IN THE AUCTION BY BID AND MAY PURCHASE HIS LOT(S) FROM THE AUCTION SALE. Notice of the consignor's liberty to bid in the sale on his lots is hereby made in accordance with Article 2 of the Texas Uniform Commercial Code. A CONSIGNOR IS REQUIRED TO PLACE HIS BIDS ON HIS PROPERTY NO LATER THAN 48 HOURS PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE AUCTION. IF THE CONSIGNOR IS THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER ON HIS LOT(S) AND HAS FAILED TO PLACE HIS BIDS ON THOSE LOTS MORE THAN 48 HOURS PRIOR TO THE POSTING OF AUCTION, THEN THE CONSIGNOR IS REQUIRED TO PAY THE APPROPRIATE SELLER'S FEE.
The highest bidder shall be the buyer. In the event of any dispute between bidders, the Auctioneer may at his sole discretion immediately put the lot up for sale again. The Auctioneer's decision shall be final and binding upon all bidders.
All coins are to be purchased per lot as numerically indicated on the Exclusively Internet™ sale site and no lots will be broken. The Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw, prior to the close, any lot or lots from the sale. Bids will be accepted in whole dollar amounts only.
All sales are strictly for cash in United States dollars. Cash includes: U.S. currency, travelers checks, bank money orders, all subject to reporting requirements. Credit Card (Visa or Master Card only) payments may be accepted up to $10,000 from non-dealers at the sole discretion of the auctioneer. Credit Cards are subject to the following limitations: a) sales are only to the cardholder, b) purchases are shipped to the credit card holder’s registered and verified address, c) Auctioneer may preapprove the cardholder’s credit line, d) a credit card transaction may not be used in conjunction with any other financing or extended terms offered by the Auctioneer, and must transact upon invoice presentation, e) rights of return are governed by these Terms and Conditions which supercede those conditions promulgated by the card issuer, f) floor bidders must present their card. Personal or corporate checks may be subject to clearing before delivery of the purchases.
Payment is due upon closing of the auction session or upon invoice. The Auctioneer reserves the right to void a sale, if the Auctioneer does not receive payment in full of the invoice, within seven (7) days after the date of the invoice. Lots delivered in the States of Texas and California are subject to all applicable state and local taxes, unless appropriate permits are on file with us.
Shipping and handling charges will be added to invoices for the lots delivered by mail. The minimum handling charge is $4 plus $0.25 per coin, up to $10 plus $0.25 per coin for packages valued up to $6,500. Fees on packages above $6,500 or for large lots are modified according to weight, value, and package size. Purchases over $500.00 may take longer for credit approval. Successful credit card bidders, who have not established credit lines with us, must have their lots shipped to the billing address of the credit card. We are sorry but we are unable to combine purchases from other auctions or Heritage Rare Coin Galleries into one package for shipping purposes.
Successful overseas bidders shall provide written shipping instructions, including specified customs declarations, to the Auctioneer for any lots to be delivered outside of the United States. Any risk of loss during shipment will be borne by the buyer following Auctioneer's delivery to the designated common carrier. All shipping charges will be borne by the successful bidder. Risk of loss shall be borne by the buyer following Auctioneer's delivery to a shipper.
If the auction invoice(s) submitted by the Auctioneer is not paid in full when due, the unpaid balance will bear interest at the highest rate permitted by law until paid, and if the Auctioneer refers the invoice(s) to an attorney for collection, the buyer agrees to pay attorney's fees, court costs, and other collection costs incurred by the Auctioneer, including reimbursement for the time spent by attorneys employed by Auctioneer or its affiliates in the collecting of the debt, at a rate comparable to the hourly rate of independent attorneys. The successful bidder, purchaser and/or Auction participant agrees, in consideration of his participation in the auction, that all disputes in any way relating to, arising under, connected with, or incidental to these Terms and Conditions and his purchases or default in payment thereof shall be litigated, if at all (See Arbitration Provision in Paragraph 22), exclusively in the Courts of the State of Texas, in Dallas County, Texas, and if necessary the corresponding appellate courts. The successful bidder, purchaser or Auction participant also expressly submits himself to the personal jurisdiction of the State of Texas. In the event that a bidder's payment is dishonored or not made timely, bidder shall pay the maximum statutory processing fees and late charges set by applicable state law.
Bidders who do not have established credit with the Auctioneer must furnish satisfactory credit and two numismatic references well in advance of the sale date, or send a deposit of 25% of their bids which is applicable to purchases. Any portion of such deposit not used will be held on account unless refund is requested.
All bidders who have mailing addresses outside the United States of America, the Territories of the USA, Canada or Mexico, or have addresses through the U.S. Military, must deposit with the Auctioneer 25% of the total amount bid in United States dollars. Any portion of such deposit not used will be promptly refunded after the sale. Also, persons who have APO or FPO box numbers must deposit 25%.
The Auctioneer reserves the right to require payment in full before delivery of the merchandise to the buyer. Title shall not pass to the successful bidder until all invoices are paid in full. It is the responsibility of the buyer to provide adequate insurance coverage for the coins once they are in his possession.
The Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse to honor any bid or to limit the amount of any bid which, in his opinion, is not submitted in "Good Faith", or, as the case dictates, is not supported by satisfactory credit and numismatic references, as the Auctioneer in its sole discretion shall determine. A bid is considered not made in "Good Faith" when it is made by an insolvent or irresponsible person, or a person under the age of eighteen. Auctioneer reserves the right to exclude any person it deems in its sole opinion is disruptive to the Sale or is otherwise commercially unsuitable. Regardless of the disclosure of his identity, any bid by a consignor or his agent is deemed to be made in "Good Faith". In the event a successful bidder fails to pay all amounts due, the Auctioneer reserves the right to resell the merchandise and the buyer agrees to pay for the reasonable costs of such a sale, including a 10% seller's commission, and also to pay any difference between the resale price and the price of his previously successful bid. Auctioneer reserves the right to rescind the sale in the event of nonpayment, breach of a warranty, disputed ownership, auctioneer's clerical error or omission in exercising bids and reserves or otherwise.
The Auctioneer shall have a lien against the merchandise purchased by the buyer and any other property of the buyer then held by the Auctioneer to secure payment of the auction invoice(s) and any other amounts due the Auctioneer from the buyer, with respect to which the Auctioneer shall have all the rights of a secured credit under Article 9 of the Texas Uniform Commercial Code. In addition, with respect to payment of the auction invoice(s), the buyer waives any and all rights of offset he might otherwise have against the Auctioneer and the consignor of the merchandise included on the invoice.
The Auctioneer shall have the right to offset the unpaid amount of any auction invoices(s) against any amount then due to the buyer by the Auctioneer or affiliates of the Auctioneer.
No buy or unlimited bids will be accepted.
Estimates will be given upon request. It is recommended that bidders approach or exceed the estimates in order to increase the chances of bidding successfully.
NO WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO ANY ADJECTIVAL OR NUMERICAL DESCRIPTION CONTAINED IN THIS AUCTION. Auctioneer is selling only such right or title to the coins being sold as Auctioneer may have by virtue of consignment agreements on the date of sale and disclaims any warranty of title to the coins. Any description of the coins contained in this auction is for the sole purpose of identifying the coins, and no description of coins has been made part of the basis of the bargain or has created any express warranty that the goods would conform to any description made by the Auctioneer. Auctioneer disclaims any warranty of merchantability or fitness for any particular purposes. Coins sold referencing a third-party grading service ("Certified Coins") are sold "as is" without any express or implied warranty, except for a guarantee by Auctioneer that the Certified Coins are genuine. Certain warranties may be available from the grading services and the bidder is referred to the following services for details of any such warranties: ANACS, P.O. Box 182141, Columbus, Ohio 43218-2141; Hallmark Grading Service, Inc., P.O. Box 2879, Woburn, MA 01888; International Numismatic Society (INS), P.O. Box 66555, Washington, DC 20035; Numismatic Certification Institute, Inc., Heritage Plaza, Highland Park Village, Dallas, Texas 75205-2788; Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), P.O. Box 1776, Parsippany, NJ 07045; Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), PO Box 9458, Newport Beach, CA 92658.
All non-certified coins are guaranteed genuine, but are not guaranteed as to grade, since grading is a matter of opinion. Grading is an art, not a science, and therefore the opinion rendered by the Auctioneer may not agree with the opinion of others (including trained experts), and the same expert may not grade the same coin with the same grade at two different times. Auctioneer has graded the non-certified coins, in the Auctioneer's opinion, to their current interpretation of the American Numismatic Association's standards as of the date the auction was prepared. There is no guarantee or warranty implied or expressed that the grading standards utilized by the Auctioneer will meet the standards of ANACS, NCI, INS, PCGS, NGC, or any other grading service at any time in the future. Auctioneer offers no opinion as to the validity of a grade assigned by any third-party grading service. Due to changing grading standards over time and to possible mishandling of coins by subsequent owners, the Auctioneer reserves the right to grade coins differently than shown on certificates from any grading service that accompany the coins. For the same reason as stated above, the Auctioneer reserves the right to grade coins differently than the grades shown in the auction should such coins be reconsigned to any future auction.
THREE (3) DAY RETURN POLICY. All lots paid for within seven days of the auction closing are sold with a three (3) day return privilege. You may return lots under the following conditions: Within three days of receipt of the lot, you must first notify Heritage by contacting Customer Service by phone (1-800-872-6467) or e-mail (bids@heritagecoin.com), and immediately mail the lot(s) fully insured to the attention of Returns, care of Heritage Plaza, 100 Highland Park Village 2nd Floor, Dallas TX 75205. Lots must be housed intact in their original holder and condition. You are responsible for the insured, safe delivery of any lots. A non-negotiable return fee of 8% of the purchase price ($10 minimum) will be deducted from the refund for each returned lot. Postage and handling fees are not refunded. After the three-day period (from receipt), no items may be returned for any reason. Late remittance for purchases revokes all Return-Restock privileges.
Although consensus grading is employed by most grading services, it should be noted that grading is not an exact science. In fact, it is entirely possible that if a coin was broken out of a plastic holder and was resubmitted to another grading service or even the same service, the coin could come back a different grade. Certification does not guarantee protection against the normal risks associated with potentially volatile markets.
The degree of liquidity for certified coins will vary according to general market conditions and the particular coin involved. For some coins there may be no active market at all at certain points in time.
No claims of any kind (except for reasons of authenticity) can be considered after the settlements have been made with the consignors. Any dispute after the settlement date is strictly between the bidder and consignor without involvement or responsibility of the Auctioneer. The Auctioneer or affiliates may consign items to be sold in this auction sale, and may bid on those items or any other in the sale. The Auctioneer or affiliates expressly reserves the right to modify its bids on these items or any others at any time based upon data made known to the Auctioneer or its affiliate. In the event of an attribution error, the Auctioneer may, at the Auctioneer's sole discretion, correct the error during the sale, or, if discovered at a later date, to refund the buyer's money without further obligation. Under no circumstances shall the obligation of the Auctioneer to any bidder be in excess of the Buyer's Premium for any lot in dispute. If any disputes arise regarding payment, authenticity, or grading or any other matter pertaining to the sale, the bidder or a participant in the Auction Sale and/or the Auctioneer agree that the dispute shall be submitted, if otherwise mutually unresolved, to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG) or American Arbitration Association (A.A.A.). The A.A.A. arbitration shall be conducted under the provisions of the Federal Arbitration Act with locale in Dallas, Texas. If an election is not made within ten (10) days of an unresolved dispute, Auctioneer may elect either PNG or A.A.A. Arbitrator. An award granted in arbitration is enforceable in any court. By placing a bid, a bidder accepts these Terms and Conditions of Sale, and agrees to be bound.
Storage of purchased coins: Purchasers are advised that certain types of plastic may react with the coin's metal and may cause damage to the coins. Caution should be used to avoid storage of coins in materials that are not inert.
Other Provisions. Auctioneer disclaims all liability for damages, consequential or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with the sale of any property by Auctioneer to bidder. No third party may rely on any benefit of these Terms and Conditions and any rights, if any, established hereunder are personal to the bidder and may not be assigned. Any statement made by the Auctioneer is a statement of opinion and does not constitute a warranty or representation. Any employee of Auctioneer may not alter the Terms of Sale, and, unless signed by a principal of Auctioneer, any alteration is null and void.
In consideration of participation in the auction and the placing of a bid, a bidder expressly releases Auctioneer, its affiliates, the Consignor, or Owner of the Lot from any and all claims, cause of action, chose of action, whether at law or equity or any arbitration or mediation rights existing under the rules of any professional society or affiliation based upon the assigned grade or a derivative theory, breach of warranty express or implied, representation or other matter set forth within these Terms and Conditions of Sale or otherwise, except as specifically declared herein; e.g., authenticity, typographical error, etc., and as to those matters, the rights and privileges conferred therein are strictly construed and is the exclusive remedy. Purchaser by non-compliance to its express terms of a granted remedy, shall waive any claim against Auctioneer.
The Sale is conducted under these Terms and Conditions of Sale and applicable state and local law. Any person participating in the Sale agrees to abide by the Terms and Conditions. Agreements between bidders and consignors to effectuate a non-sale of a coin at Sale, inhibit bidding on a consigned coin to enter into a private sale agreement for a coin or to utilize the Auctioneer's Sale to obtain sales for non-selling consigned coins subsequent to the Sale are strictly prohibited. If a subsequent sale of a previously consigned coin occurs in violation of this provision, Auctioneer reserves the right to charge bidder and consignor a fee equivalent to the Auctioneer's commissions earned if the coin had sold at the Sale.
All bidders must meet Heritage's qualifications to bid. Any bidder who is not a customer in good standing at Heritage will be disqualified and will not be awarded lots. Such a determination may be made by Heritage in its sole and unlimited discretion, at any time prior to, during or even after the close of the auction.

Auctioneer has in compliance with Title 2.95 of the California Civil Code as amended October 11, 1993 Sec. 1812.600, posted with the California Secretary of State its bonds for it and its employees and the auction is being conducted in compliance with Sec. 2338 of the Commercial Code and Sec. 535 of the Penal Code.
