All lots in our auctions carry two estimates. The low estimate in most cases, is what we consider to be the modest wholesale price, and the high estimate to be a high wholesale price or a low retail price. Most items we sell bring within our estimated range, but many times prices will exceed this range. This is partly because gallery prices can be far higher than the estimates on items, and under competition, prices can approach gallery levels. Also, many items we offer are rare or exceptional, and competition from serious collectors pushes prices up. Over half the bidders participating at every sale we have, do so either via phone or left bid. Some of them preview in person, but most bid without ever having set foot in the gallery.
Every item we sell is guaranteed to be authentic and as described. By providing a full color catalog, a comprehensive web-site, written condition reports, we offer you all the information you need to make an informed buying decision. We are set up to arrange for, or provide, delivery on all purchases.

And with over 300,000 items on the auction block every year, US Asset Forfeiture & Seizures offers you the best selection of coins, bullion metals, fine Jewelry and art you are likely to find anywhere.
