You represent and warrant that all certified coins have been graded and certified by one of the leading independent grading companies: PCGS, NGC, ANACS or ICG.

Bullion Shark is not responsible for the grades assigned and makes no warranty or representation and shall have no liability regarding such grades. 3. Items are available for bid and for direct sale. All photographs posted on Bullion Shark’s Website are typically of the actual items being sold but may not be the actual size or to scale.

All requests for using Bullion Shark images should be sent via e-mail to [auctions@bullionsharks.com].

In most cases, Bullion Shark will post notification of any such action on the Website as soon as reasonably feasible. For certain buy now items, the photo is representative, and the certification number may vary, but will be identical in all other respects. 4. Reserves.
