Gulfcoast Coin & Jewelery Auction

Occasionally the Internet cannot keep up with the pace of our in-house auction. Placing a realistic absentee bid prior to the start of the auction will insure that you bid on those items you most desire. It is at the auctioneer's discretion to accept or reject an Internet bid. In addition the auctioneer may reopen a lot after the close of an Internet bid (usually because of a missed live audience bid), and may reject your bid even if you are designated as the winning bidder. This is a very rare occurrence but because of the pace of bidding, it is sometimes unavoidable. By bidding via the Internet, you agree that the lot may be awarded to another bidder at the sole discretion of Gulfcoast Coin & Jewelry Auction under these circumstances or any other reasonable circumstances. Internet bids are not available to us until the lot is opened on the floor. Frequently, the floor responds before an Internet bid is accepted. Therefore, floor bids are always considered first over identical Internet bids. IMPORTANT NOTE: Grading of rare coins and paper money is subjective. We grade coins using Photograde and the official A.N.A. grading standards for U. S. coins. Our professional numismatists use their 33 years experience grading coins. We do not guarantee coins will be graded the same by some of the grading services. We will NOT accept returns of raw coins and paper money for this reason. We guarantee all coins to be genuine, except as otherwise expressly stated in the Description section of an individual lot. Gulfcoast Coin & Jewelry makes no warranties or guarantees or representations as to any numismatic properties. GCCJ does not represent that a numismatic item has or has not been cleaned, that toning is natural or artificial, that any coin catalogued will meet the standards, or the grade, of any third party or third party grading service. Due to the structure of live Internet auctions, the final bid shown may NOT be the actual final high bid. Increments in the system are small in order to enable the clerk to come as close as possible to the bid the auctioneer is asking. However the next asking price the auctioneer is seeking is often several times the increment locked into the system; i.e. the bid is at $100 and the auctioneer is looking for $125, and the increments are set at $5. The clerk must show a floor bid of $120 in order for the Internet bidder to make a bid of $125. If there is not another bid, the item sold at $100 but the final price online will show as $120. Please familiarize yourself with how these auctions work before bidding and remember the floor bid always takes place over an Internet bid RETURN POLICY: If our description of an item is materially incorrect, we will accept return of the item. However, we MUST HAVE NOTIFICATION OF RETURN WITHIN FIVE BUSINESS DAYS FROM RECEIPT OF ITEM BY BIDDER, as shown by UPS or USPS tracking data, and the item must be received by us within ten days. Otherwise, all items purchased at auction are final sale and no returns will be accepted under any other circumstances.
