TERMS OF SALE
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 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.
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
nineteen and one-half percent (19.5%) 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 "cash equivalent"
then the buyer's premium will be discounted to seventeen and
one-half percent (17.5%). "Cash equivalent" is defined as paying
by cash, cashier's check, money order, approved personal check
or bank wire transfer. 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. 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.
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

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.

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.
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

deposits will be promptly refunded, upon clearance of funds.
6. Shipping and Insurance. It is the Buyer’s responsibility to

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 or by
FedEx and will include insurance on all shipments up to $20,000.
Buyers will be billed additional insurance charges on a shipment
or combined shipments valued at above $20,000 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.

whatsoever for customs duties charged by the country of

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

liable for and agrees to promptly pay the same on demand
together with any interest or penalty that may be assessed.
6. 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 the 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.
