1. Auction Basics. This is a public auction sale conducted by California
bonded auctioneers, Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. (hereinafter referred
to as "Auctioneer"). Bidding in this Auction constitutes acceptance by
you (the "Bidder") of all the Terms of Sale stated herein. Bidders may
include consignors who may bid and purchase lots in the Auction
consigned by the consignor or by other consignors pursuant to their
consignment agreement. The Auctioneer reserves the right to include in
any auction sale its own material. Bidder acknowledges and agrees that
the Auctioneer may not be required to pay a Buyer's Premium, or other
charges that other Bidders may be required to pay and may have access
to information concerning the lots that is not otherwise available to the
public. Any claimed conflict of interest or claimed competitive advantage
resulting there from is expressly waived by all participants in the Auction.
Lots may carry a Reserve. A Reserve is a confidential price or bid below
which the Auctioneer will not sell an item or will re-purchase on behalf of
the Consignor or for Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. The Buyer is the
Bidder who makes the highest bid accepted by the Auctioneer, and
includes the principal of any Bidder acting as an agent.

2. Descriptions and Grading. Grading of rare coins is subjective and may
differ among independent grading services and among numismatists,
even though grading has a material effect on the value of the coins.
Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. is not responsible for the grades assigned
by independent grading services, and makes no warranty or
representation regarding such grades. Bidder further acknowledges and
agrees that grades assigned by Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. and lot
descriptions are based solely upon an examination of the coins and are
intended to note any perceived characteristics. Stephen Album Rare
Coins Inc. does not warrant the accuracy of such grading or descriptions.
All photographs in this catalog are of the actual items being sold but may
not be the actual size or to scale.

3. The Bidding Process. The Auctioneer shall have the right to open or
accept the bidding on any lot by placing a bid on behalf of the Consignor
or their agent, a Bidder by mail, telephone, internet or fax, or any other
participant in the Auction. Bids must be for an entire lot and each lot
constitutes a separate sale. No lot will be broken up unless otherwise
permitted by the Auctioneer. Lots will be sold in their numbered
sequence unless Auctioneer directs otherwise. All material shall be sold
in separate lots to the highest Bidder as determined by the Auctioneer.
Auctioneer shall have the right in his or her sole and absolute discretion
to accept or decline any bid, challenge any bid or bidding increment, to
reduce any mail bid received, adjudicate all bidding disputes and to
determine the prevailing bid. The Auctioneer shall have the right, but not
the obligation, to rescind the acceptance of any bid and place the lot(s)
for Auction again. Auctioneer's decision on all bidding disputes shall be
binding and final. For the mail and internet Bidder's protection, no
"unlimited" or "buy" bids will be accepted. When identical bids are
received for a lot, preference is given to the first bid received as
determined by the Auctioneer. A mail bid will take precedence over an
identical floor bid; a Floor Bidder and Telephone Bidder must bid higher
than the highest mail bid or pre-sale internet bid to be awarded any lot.
Bids will not be accepted from persons under eighteen (18) years of age
without a parent's written consent which acknowledges the Terms of
Sale herein and agrees to be bound thereby on behalf of the underage
Bidder. The auction sale is complete when the Auctioneer so announces
it.
Absentee bids may be placed by fax, mail, email, or by telephone. Online
bidding is also available on www.iCollector.com. Follow the link on our
website, www.stevealbum.com in order to bid online. Your bids will be
treated as a maximum bid. The winning bid will be one increment above
the next highest bidder, or at the starting bid.
Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. is not responsible for any errors in
bidding. All Bidders should make certain to bid on the correct lot and
that the bid is the bid intended. Once the hammer has fallen and the
Auctioneer has announced the Buyer, the Buyer is unconditionally bound
to pay for the lot, even if the Buyer made a mistake. Stephen Album Rare
Coins Inc. reserves the right to withdraw any lot at any time, even after
the hammer has fallen, until the Buyer has taken physical possession of
the lot. No participant in the Auction shall have a right to claim any
damages, including consequential damages if a lot is withdrawn, even if
the withdrawal occurs after the Auction.

4. Buyer’s Premiums and Payments. A Buyer's Premium of twenty
percent (20.0%) will be added to the hammer price for each lot to all
successful bids. Accepted payments are by Visa, MasterCard, American
Express, PayPal, cash, cashier's check, money order, approved personal
check or bank wire transfer. If the purchaser pays by credit card
(including credit-debit cards) or by PayPal, an additional service fee of
three percent (3.0%) will be added. This service fee will apply to the
hammer price, buyer’s premium, shipping, and sales tax. A reacquisition
charge may apply to Consignors pursuant to a separate agreement,
which may be higher or lower than the Buyer's Premium. Payment is
delinquent and in default if not received in full, in good funds, within
fourteen (14) calendar days of the Auction (the "Default Date"), without
exception, time being of the essence, unless otherwise agreed in writing
prior to the Auction. Any bidder who does not pay within the standard
deadline of fourteen (14) calendar days, regardless of any approval of
alternative payment arrangements, may be considered a negligent payer
and may be subject to increased scrutiny and additional requirements in
order to participate in future auctions. If a credit card is provided before
the sale, Stephen Album Rare Coins reserves the right to charge your
credit card for the total of your auction purchases if payment has not
been received within the fourteen (14) calendar days deadline. All
auction sales are payable strictly in immediately available good U.S.
funds, through a bank in the United States. Personal checks must clear
our bank before lots are delivered. Bounced or returned checks are
subject to a $35 fee.
Payments by PayPal are restricted to a maximum of $5,000 per client.
Payments by credit card are restricted to a maximum of $10,000 per
invoice. If a credit card has been used to pay for one invoice from the
auction, it may not be used to pay for another invoice in the auction,
regardless of the total amount of either invoice. We reserve the right to
modify these payment limits, and we reserve the right to refuse payment
by credit card or PayPal at our discretion, in which case a bank wire,
check, or cash equivalent will be required.
Please contact Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. for wiring instructions.
Please inform us after bank wire has been sent. Please be advised that
payments coming by wire transfer usually only take a few days to arrive,
but in rare cases they can take up to a few weeks to arrive due to US
government regulating, resulting in a delay of shipment of your lots. Lots
will not be shipped until your full payment has arrived in our bank
account. There is a $15 fee for all bank wire transfers.
Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. reserves the right not to release lots for
which funds have not yet been received in full. On any past due
accounts, Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. reserves the right, without
notice, to extend credit and impose carrying charges of 1% per month.
Buyers agree to pay reasonable attorney's fees and cost incurred to
collect past due accounts. Buyers personally and unconditionally
guarantee payment in full of all amounts owed to Stephen Album Rare
Coins Inc. Any person submitting bids on behalf of a corporation or
other entity, by making such bid, agrees to be personally liable for the
payment of the purchase price and any related charges and the
performance of all Buyer obligations under these Terms of Sale and
Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. reserves the right to require a written
guarantee of such payments and obligations.
Lots are not available for pickup during the auction. Lots may be
available for on-site pickup on the Monday following the sale if a formal
request for pickup is provided by the Buyer before the auction, during
the auction, or within 1 hour of the close of the final lot on the final day
of the auction. We reserve the right to refuse this request for pickup, at
our discretion. For on-site pickup, we will only accept cash or a bank
transfer. If paying by bank transfer, the funds must reach our account
before we will allow you to collect your lots.

5. Credit. Bidders who have not established credit with Stephen Album
Rare Coins Inc. must furnish satisfactory credit references and/or deposit
at least twenty-five percent (25%) of their total bids for that Auction
session(s) or such other amount as Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. may,
in its sole and absolute discretion, require before any bids from such
Bidder will be accepted. Deposits submitted will be applied to purchases.
Any remaining deposits will be promptly refunded, upon clearance of
funds.

6. Shipping and Insurance. It is the Buyer’s responsibility to contact
Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. after the sale to make shipping and
packaging arrangements. Due to the fragile nature of some lots, Stephen
Album Rare Coins Inc. may elect not to assume responsibility for shipping
or packing, or may charge additional shipping and handling. All state
taxes, postage, shipping, handling, insurance costs, the Buyer's Premium,
and any other fees required by law to be charged or collected will be
added to the invoice for any lots invoiced to Buyer. Title and risk of loss
pass to the Buyer at the destination upon tender of delivery. Acceptance
of delivery constitutes acceptance of the purchased lots. Inspection of
the purchased lots is not required for acceptance. Any and all claims
based upon Buyer's failure to receive a purchased lot, Buyer's receipt of
a lot in damaged condition, or otherwise related to delivery, must be
received in writing by Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. no later than thirty
(30) days after payment. The failure to make a timely claim, time being of
the essence, shall constitute a waiver of any such claim.
Delivery outside the USA will be by USPS registered mail, express mail or
by FedEx and will include insurance on all shipments up to $50,000.
Buyers will be billed additional insurance charges on a shipment or
combined shipments valued at above $50,000. Any claims of loss or
damage will only be paid by Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. only after the
insurers’ investigation is complete. If the Buyer opts for another form of
shipment other than the above, items will be shipped at their risk and
they will assume all risk due to theft, damage or loss. A Buyer opt out of
the Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. standard shipping listed above must
be in received in writing before shipment will be made.
Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. cannot accept any responsibility
whatsoever for customs duties charged by the country of destination or
seizure of items by customs, domestic or foreign.
Buyers will be charged all applicable sales tax, including Buyers who pick
up at this Auction or shipments to Buyers in California without a valid
Resale Certificate which has been provided to the Auctioneer. Please
note that the purchase of any coin or bullion lot(s) with a price, including
the Buyer's Premium, in excess of One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars
($1,500) are exempt from California sales tax. On any tax not paid by
Buyer that should have been paid, even if not collected by Stephen
Album Rare Coins Inc. by mistake, error, negligence or gross negligence,
Buyer remains liable for and agrees to promptly pay the same on
demand together with any interest or penalty that may be assessed.

7. Financial Responsibility. In the event any applicable conditions of
these Terms of Sale herein are not complied with by a Buyer or if the
Buyer fails to make payment in full by the Default Date, Stephen Album
Rare Coins Inc. reserves the right, in its sole discretion, in addition to all
other remedies which it may have at law or in equity, to: (a) rescind the
sale of that lot or any other lot or lots sold to the defaulting Buyer,
retaining all payments made by Buyer as liquidated damages, it being
recognized that actual damages may be speculative or difficult to
compute, or (b) resell a portion or all of the lots held by Stephen Album
Rare Coins Inc., in a commercially reasonable manner, which may include
a public or private sale, in a quantity sufficient in the opinion of Stephen
Album Rare Coins Inc. to satisfy the indebtedness, plus all accrued
charges, and Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. may charge a seller’s
commission that is commercially reasonable. More than one such sale
may take place at the option of Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. If the
Auctioneer resells the lots, Buyer agrees to pay for the reasonable cost of
such sale, together with any incidental costs of sale, including reasonable
attorney's fees and costs, cataloguing and any other reasonable charges.
Notice of the sale shall be by U.S.P.S. Certified Mail, Return Receipt
Requested to the address utilized on the Bid Sheet, Auction Consignment
and Security Agreement or other last known address by Stephen Album
Rare Coins Inc. The proceeds shall be applied first to the satisfaction of
any damages occasioned by Buyer's breach, then to any other
indebtedness owed to Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc., including without
limitation, commissions, handling charges, carrying charges, the
expenses of both sales, reasonable attorneys' fees, costs, collection
agency fees and costs and any other costs or expenses incurred. Buyer
shall also be liable to Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. for any deficiency if
the proceeds of such sale or sales are insufficient to cover such amounts.
Buyer grants to Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc., or assignees, the right to
offset any sums due, or fund to be due to Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc.,
and to make such offset from any past, current, or future consignment,
or purchases that are in the possession or control of the Auctioneer or
from any sums due to Buyer by Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc., its
affiliates and assignees. In addition, defaulting Buyers will be deemed to
have granted to Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc., or its assignees, a
security interest in: (x) the purchased lots and their proceeds, and (y)
such sums or other items and their proceeds, in the possession of
Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc., its affiliates or assignees, to secure all
indebtedness due to Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc., plus all accrued
expenses, carrying charges, attorney fees, and costs, until the
indebtedness is paid in full. Buyer grants Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc.
the right to file a UCC-1 financing statement for such items, and to assign
such interest to any affiliated or related company or any third party
deemed appropriate by Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. If the auction
invoice is not paid for in full by the Default Date, a carrying charge of one
percent (1%) per month may be imposed on the unpaid amount until it is
paid in full. In the event this interest rate exceeds interest permitted by
law, the same shall be adjusted to the maximum rate permitted by law,
and any amount paid in excess thereof shall be allocated to principal.
Buyer agrees to pay all reasonable attorney's fees, court costs and other
collection costs incurred by Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. or any
affiliated or related company to collect past due invoices or to interpret
or enforce the terms hereof or in any action or proceeding arising out of
or related to the Auction. Stephen Album Rare Coins Inc. reserves the
right to assign its interest to any third party. To the extent that the Buyer
for any lot consists of more than one person or entity, each such person
or entity is jointly and severally liable for all obligations of the Buyer,
regardless of the title or capacity of such person or entity. Stephen
Album Rare Coins Inc. shall have all the rights of a secured party under
the California Uniform Commercial Code and all rights of the consignor
to collect amounts due from the Buyer, whether at law or equity.

8. Disclaimer and Warranties.

any other third party grading service or examined by the buyer
prior to the auction sale may not be returned for any reason
whatsoever by any Buyer, except for claims related to authenticity.
b) For non-certified coins that have not been examined by the Buyer
prior to the Auction: if it is determined in a review by the

hours of delivery of the lots in question, and such lots are returned

being of the essence.
c) If an item or items are returned pursuant to the terms herein, they

lots. Please examine group lots carefully before bidding.

determination or certification by any independent grading service.

goods purchased, the sale itself, any lot bid upon or consigned, and/or
the auction, except where such Claim is otherwise expressly authorized
in these Terms of Sale. It is the intention of Bidder that this waiver and
release shall be effective as a bar to each and every Claim that may arise
hereunder or be related to the Auction, and Bidder hereby knowingly
and voluntarily waives any and all rights and benefits otherwise

HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH
THE DEBTOR."
