The Auction House accepts no liability for any contraventions of such regulations. It is the Bidder's sole responsibility to identify and obtain any necessary licences for a Lot, including but not limited to export, import, or endangered species.

For coins that have been authenticated, graded and encapsulated (?slabbed?) by an independent grading company, no guarantee of any kind is offered by us. Buyers should note that removal or attempted removal from any slab will immediately void any independent guarantee that might have been offered by that grading company.

We may describe the Lots using the following descriptions: Restored: the Lot may have been repaired or otherwise reinstated and some parts may have been replaced; Fair Condition: the Lot may be fragmentary or have some obvious damaged; Fine Condition: the Lot is likely to be generally complete but may have minor damage or evidence of restoration or repair; Very Fine Condition: the Lot is usually complete and in good condition, but may have some minor damage, restoration or repairs. The nature of the Lots sold at auction by the Auction House is such that they are likely- due to their age, to show signs of wear and tear, damage, or other imperfections, restoration or repair. Any reference to condition by the Auction House will not amount to a full description of condition. Photographs included in the Auction House ? sale catalogues are not representative of the condition of any Lot. All dimensions of Lots are approximate and are for general guidance only. A single dimension given is normally the greatest dimension for the Lot.
10. The objects which come under the hammer are auctioned on behalf of a third party or are the property of the Auction House. The buyer (successful bidder) has no entitlement to have the identity of the consignor disclosed to them and acknowledges that the Auction House might receive a commission from the consignor for the sale.
11. The above conditions are a component of each individual contract of sale concluded at the auction. Alterations must be made in writing in order to be valid.
