In accordance with current French law, the sale must be made expressly in cash. Buyers will pay the main price of the last auction, which is 24% TTC per lot and regardless of the amount of the auction, in €uros.

WARRANTIES. The description and states of preservation of each currency have been rigorously studied and are given in all science and conscience. The authenticity is formally guaranteed. The evaluation bases in €uros are given according to international courses. The weights in grams and the dimensions in millimeters are given only as an indication. Any changes to the terms of sale or catalogue descriptions may be made and will be announced verbally at the beginning of the sale and noted in the minutes. The indications given of the existence of a restoration or any other incident affecting the lot are expressed to facilitate the examination of the future purchaser and remain to its discretion. The absence of a restoration indication does not imply that an object is free of any defects passed or repaired. The mention of any defect does not imply the absence of any other defect. No claim will be admissible as soon as the award is handed down. Preliminary exhibitions allow buyers to see the condition of the objects presented. It is up to the purchasers to examine the items before the sale and rely on their own judgment to verify their compliance with the description in the catalogue.
BIDS. The auction will be made using a numbered paddle that will be given to the bidder before the sale at the time of registration of his identity. To facilitate the presentation of the items sold, the photographs will be projected on screens accompanied by the increase in auctions and the conversion of currencies. Technical malfunction (presentation of an object different from the current auction, for example) cannot be held responsible. The auctioneer is the only judge to start the auction again. The order of the catalogue will be followed. In order to find your collection theme and the ranking of the coins, it is advisable to refer to the summary. The sale will be conducted in €uros. Auctions start, according to our custom, at a figure representing around 80% of the low estimate. However, the auction price resulting from the auction may be between the starting price and the high estimate, and the high estimate, and most of the time exceed the latter. The order of progress of the auction is set by the auctioneer authorized to direct the auction

The bidder will be the highest bidder and last bidder. He will have an obligation to hand over his name and address. The auction house PHIDIAS will consider that the bidder present at the sale is solely responsible for the auctions carried, even if the auction is acting on behalf of a third party, unless a written warrant specifies otherwise. In the event of a challenge at the time of the auctions, i.e. if it is established that two or more bidders simultaneously made an equivalent bid, either aloud, by sign or any other means, and at the same time claiming this item after the pronounced "sold" the item will be immediately put back on sale at the last price offered by the bidders and any public will then be allowed to re-auction.
The transfer of ownership will be effective once the award has been awarded, with the awardee becoming fully responsible for the purchased lots or lots. The French state has a right of pre-emption on objects dispersed in accordance with the existing texts. The exercise of this right comes immediately after the hammer blow, with the representative of the state demonstrating the latter's desire to replace the last bidder, and having to confirm the pre-emption within 15 days of the sale. The PHIDIAS auction house cannot be held responsible for the conditions of the pre-emption.
