This is a public auction sale held in Van Nuys, California by a licensed and bonded auction company. 2. The lots described in this catalog contain the property of multiple consignors and may include consignments from Michael Aron Rare Coins ( M.A.R.C. ) or their employees. 3. A Buyer s Commission of ten percent (10%) on each lot will be added to all purchases made by bidders, and will be based on the total amount of the final bid. 4. Although there are no preset reserves or minimum bids in this sale, consignors may be permitted to bid on their own lots. In all cases, a commission would be charged for any reacquisitions. 5. Grading is an art and not a science. BECAUSE GRADING IS SUBJECTIVE IN NATURE AND NO TWO PEOPLE OR SERVICES WILL ALWAYS GRADE THE SAME COIN ALIKE, YOU SHOULD RELY ON YOUR EXAMINATION OF THE LOTS OFFERED IN THIS SALE AND NOT ON THE GRADE INDICATED IN THIS CATALOG. CONSIGNOR MAY HAVE DETERMINED GRADE IN CATALOG. We accept no liability whatsoever for the grade or descriptions offered in this catalog. Standards for grading have varied over given periods of time, depending on changing market conditions, and will probably do so in the future. M.A.R.C. places no value or future potential on the coins in this sale. 6. Lots are not sold on approval. All material is on display before and during the auction. Bidders are encouraged to inspect any and all items of interest prior to bidding as all sales are final. 7. Auctioneer is not responsible for errors in bidding.

Floor bidders must register and secure a bid number as they enter the hall before lot viewing. Those awarded lots may pick them up at any time during the sale, but all transactions must be completed at the conclusion of the auction. 9. Lots are on display at the Auction Hall from 9:30 a.m. on the morning of the sale and may be examined both preceding and during the auction. 10. Sales tax will be charged where applicable. Existing California sales and use tax law exempts bulk sales (one thousand dollars or more) of numismatic coins from this tax. The Buyer s Fee (10%) is part of the purchase price and is either subject to the sales tax or to the bulk sales exemption. 11. Every item in this catalog is guaranteed to be genuine.

MARC OFFERS NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY THAT A COIN HAS OR HAS NOT BEEN CLEANED, THAT ANY TONING IS NATURAL OR ARTIFICIAL. OR THAT ANY COIN WILL MEET THE STANDARDS OR GRADE OF ANY THIRD PARTY GRADING SERVICE. A statement concerning this is a matter of opinion only. 12.
