1. This is a Live Auction.
2. Live (Floor) Bidding: Please arrive a few minutes early to
check in and receive your bidding paddle. We will open lots
with more than one bid at the current high absentee bid or
50% of the low estimate at the auctioneer’s discretion. Please
be sure to bid on the correct lots during the live auction. Our
auction progress is at a rate of between 100 and 200 lots per
hour. When the auctioneer says “sold”, he will identify the
successful bidder by number and announce the winning bid
amount. If you are not sure whether you won the lot or not, it is
your responsibility to ask for clarification immediately. Tie bids
are awarded to the first absentee bid placed if not advanced
on the floor, or by a phone bidder, whoever is first. Auctioneer
reserves the right to reopen the lot in the case of an immediate
dispute at the actual time of the sale.
3. Telephone Bidding: Telephone bidding requests MUST
be scheduled prior to this auction. If you do not schedule in
advance, and choose instead to call on the day of the auction to
request a line for bidding, you may find that we are unable to
accommodate your request. Please limit your telephone bids to
items of value greater than $500, or to a string of items with a
similar total.
4. Agent Bidding: There are numerous professional agents
available to assist you should you require this service. Please
contact the office for a list or to arrange for representation on
the floor during the live auction.
5. Live Auction Absentee Bidding: Absentee bids for the live
auction must be received by Friday, January 4, 2013 at 5pm
pacific time. It is your responsibility to submit all lot numbers
and bid amounts accurately. Absentee bids should be equal to
at least 50% of the low estimate if an estimate is provided. Bids
on “No Lots” or “Withdrawn” Lots are considered no-bids. Bids
made in amounts that do not conform to the bid increment
table in item 8 below will be automatically rounded up or down
by the computer, or rounded to the nearest proper bid increment
at the discretion of the auctioneer.
6. Internet Bidding: Absentee and Live internet bidding are
both available through our live auction network. If you wish to
bid LIVE via the internet, you MUST pre-register. A live video
and sound feed will be accessible during the auction for those
bidding via the internet. Online bidding remains open through
the live auction and online absentee bids may be placed anytime.
Live bidding will open when the auction starts. Internet
bidding is offered as a convenience for those who cannot
attend the live sale. Please note that there may be delays or
interruptions in internet connectivity that are beyond our
control. Attending the live auction or arranging for an agent is
the most reliable way to secure your bids.
WARNING: Auction participation through the live internet bidding
site is not 100% foolproof. The technology for this process
is still under review and development, and the operation of
it and the corresponding internet connectivity issues are far
beyond our control. Some folks have attempted to use the live
internet bidding process as their primary method of bidding,
and have been quite successful. Others have failed completely.
Depending upon your computer, server, host, and other factors,
internet signals may be delayed, such that bids may not
be received in time. We cannot be held responsible for these
delays, or for the lack of placed bids in a timely manner, or any
other factors leading to unaccepted bids that are far beyond
our control. Bidders should always have a backup plan for lots
they highly desire. Live participation is best, followed by phone
participation. We will not reopen lots for missed bids.
7. Reserves: Most of the lots in this auction are unreserved.
Gold is generally reserved at or near spot, though it could be
slightly below spot.
8. Bidding Increments: All bids must be submitted in U.S.
dollars and in whole dollar amounts only in the appropriate
increments as outlined below. If you choose to submit bids in
an increment not listed below, your bid will be rounded to the
nearest increment and you will be expected to pay the amount
to which the bid was rounded should your bid be the winning
bid. If you have any questions about an appropriate bid
amount, please call us.
From: To: Increment:
$0 $29 $1
$30 $95 $5
$100 $190 $10
$200 $475 $25
$500 $1,450 $50
$1,500 $3,400 $100
$3,500 $9,750 $250
$10,000 $max $500
9. Bid Reduction: All winning absentee bids will be reduced, if
necessary, to the next bidding increment up from the last competing
bid, as long as the minimum bid requirement has been
met. For example, if you submit an absentee bid of $1000 and
the next highest competing bid is $250, then you will win the lot
for $275.
10. Bid Information: Collectors often ask in advance the price
level of a particular lot. We will give out the current high absentee
bid until we close the day before the live auction. You may
also view absentee bids online at www.FHWAC.com.
11. Bid Cancellation: If you wish to cancel or change a bid
after you have submitted your bids to us due to an error, you
MUST PHONE us to advise us of this. Bid cancellations through
mail, email, or fax are not advisable. Errors are easy to make
and we are happy to assist all callers.

discount and the Buyer’s Premium will be calculated at 17%.
16. Sales Tax: Sales tax will apply, according to state law, for
