Auktionsbedingungen

Es gelten die folgenden Auktionsbedingungen:

Uns unbekannte Bieter sind gebeten, sich vor der Auktion zu legitimieren. Ferner behält sich der Versteigerer vor, nach freiem Ermessen und ohne Angabe von Gründen Personen den Zutritt zu den Auktionsräumlichkeiten zu untersagen.

Bei Anwesenheit des Käufers ist auf den Zuschlagspreis ein Aufgeld von 15 % zu entrichten. Bei schriftlichen Geboten wird auf den Zuschlagspreis zusätzlich zu den 15 % ein Aufgeld von 3 %, bei telefonischen Geboten ein solches von 5 % in Rechnung gestellt. Bei Auslieferung in der Schweiz wird für Platin-, Silber- und Kupfermünzen sowie alle Medaillen, Orden, Antiquitäten, etc. zum Zuschlag und Aufgeld zusätzlich 8 % Mehrwertsteuer erhoben. Die Bezahlung ist nach erfolgtem Zuschlag sofort fällig und in Schweizer Währung zu bezahlen. Der Zuschlag erfolgt nach dreimaligem Aufruf des höchsten Gebotes und verpflichtet zur Ab- nahme. Jeder Käufer ist persönlich haftbar für die durch ihn vollzogenen Käufe. Er kann nicht geltend machen, für Rechnung Dritter gekauft zu haben. Wird der Kaufbetrag nicht innerhalb der vereinbarten Frist beglichen, kann SINCONA AG den Kauf annullieren. Der Versteigerer kann ohne Angabe von Gründen und ohne dafür zu haften Gebote ablehnen.

Durch die Abgabe eines schriftlichen oder mündlichen Gebotes werden die Auktionsbedin- gungen vollumfänglich anerkannt. Gebote, die den Schätzpreis unterschreiten, können nicht berücksichtigt werden. Entweder/oder-Aufträge sowie Gesamtlimiten können nur be- dingt ausgeführt werden. Schriftliche Aufträge werden von den Veranstaltern der Auktion interessewahrend ausgeführt und können nur bis 24 Stunden vor Auktionsbeginn verbindlich berücksichtigt werden.

Die Veranstalter der Auktion sind mit Zustimmung der Auktionsaufsicht berechtigt, von der im Katalog vorgesehenen Reihenfolge abzuweichen und Nummern zu vereinigen. Lose werden nicht aufgeteilt. Bei Meinungsverschiedenheiten kann ein Los vom Versteigerer erneut ausge- rufen werden. Die Auktion wird in deutscher und teilweise in englischer Sprache durchgeführt.

Der Versand der ersteigerten Münzen erfolgt nach Bezahlung, so rasch wie möglich nach der Auktion auf Rechnung und Gefahr des Erwerbers. Für die Versicherung der Ware wird ein Be- trag von 0,5 % des Rechnungsbetrages erhoben. Ein Versand nach Russland sowie von anti- ken Münzen in die USA ist nicht mehr möglich! Das Auktionsgut bleibt bis zur vollständigen Bezahlung Eigentum des Verkäufers.

Im Ausland anfallende Abgaben, wie z.B. Zollgebühren und Steuern, gehen vollständig zu Lasten des Erwerbers. Die Beachtung ausländischer Zoll- und Devisenvorschriften etc. ist Sache des Erwerbers. Die Veranstalter der Auktion lehnen die Verantwortung für allfällige Folgen ab, die sich aus der Zuwiderhandlung gegen derartige Bestimmungen ergeben können.

Die Echtheit der Münzen wird gewährleistet. Die Angaben und Beschreibungen im Katalog werden nach bestem Wissen und Gewissen gegeben. Begründete Beanstandungen können nur innerhalb von acht Tagen nach der Auktion berücksichtigt werden. Bei Münzen in "SLABS" erlischt die Echtheitsgarantie wenn diese geöffnet werden.

Bei der Auktion anwesende Käufer kaufen grundsätzlich „wie besehen“ und können nur bei gravierenden Mängeln sofort reklamieren. Schriftliche Bieter haben die Möglichkeit sich über den Zustand der Lose während der Besich- tigungstage persönlich, oder durch einen Vertreter, zu informieren. Eine Reklamation wegen Meinungsverschiedenheiten über den Erhaltungsgrad eines Loses wird nicht akzeptiert. Lots von mehr als einem Stück sind von jeglicher Reklamation ausgeschlossen.

Telefonisches Bieten ist nur in Ausnahmefällen und für Stücke mit einem Schätzwert über CHF 3'000.– möglich und muss mindestens 48 Stunden vor Beginn der Auktion angemeldet werden. Registrierungen für „Live Bidding“ werden bis 24 Stunden vor Auktionsbeginn entge- gengenommen.

Der im Internet publizierte Auktionskatalog hat lediglich informativen Charakter. Für die Aukti- on massgebend ist die gedruckte Version.

Erfüllungsort und Gerichtsstand im Verhältnis zwischen den Veranstaltern der Auktion und dem Erwerber ist Zürich. Im Übrigen gelten die Zürcher Auktionsbedingungen. Verantwortli- cher Auktionator ist ein Funktionär der SINCONA AG. Eine Haftung des mitwirkenden Beam- ten, der Gemeinde und des Staates für Handlungen des Auktionators besteht nicht.

4 Conditions of sale

The following conditions apply for the auction:

Unknown bidders are requested to identify themselves prior to the sale. The auctioneer re- serves the right, exercisable at our complete discretion, to refuse admission to the premises or attendance at the auction.

For buyers personally present a 15 % premium is charged over and above the knock-down price. To written bids, additionally to the 15 %, a premium of 3 %, for telephone bids a premium of 5 % is charged. If delivered in Switzerland, silver and coins of other non-gold metals as well all medals, medallions, orders of merit, antiques etc. are charged with an additional 8 % VAT on the sale price and premium. Payment is due immediately after adjudication and is payable in Swiss currency against delivery of the coins. Adjudication ensues after the highest bid has been called three times, and commits the bidder to acceptance. Every buyer is personally liable for all purchases made. He cannot claim to act for a third person. Should the purchase price not be paid within the agreed time limit, SINCONA AG may cancel the purchase. The auctioneer has the right at his absolute discretion to refuse any bid.

Bids in writing or bids at the sale are taken to imply full acceptance of the conditions of sale. Written bids below the estimated prices cannot be considered. Either/or bids, as well as total price limits, can only be accepted conditionally. Purchase orders in writing will be executed by the auctioneer in the buyer's interest and must reach the auctioneer 24 hours before the start of the sale.

The auctioneer is entitled to depart from the numerical order of the catalogue and to join num- bers. Lots cannot be divided. The auctioneer has the right, in case of error or dispute, to put an item up for bidding again. The auction will be held in German and sometimes in English.

Coins purchased will be dispatched after payment, as soon as possible, for the account and the risk of the buyer. Any duties payable abroad, such as custom duties and taxes, are to be borne entirely by the buyer. There will be an additional charge of 0.5 % of the invoice amount for shipment insurance. The shipment of coins to Russia as well as the shipment of ancient coins to the USA is no longer possible! The auctioned goods remain the sole and exclusive property of the vendor until full payment.

It is the responsibility of the buyer to comply with foreign customs and exchange regulations etc. The organizer of the auction declines all responsibility for any consequences arising from contravention of such regulations.

The authenticity of the coins is warranted. The specifications and descriptions in this catalogue have been prepared diligently and in good faith. Justified complaints can only be considered within eight days after the auction. For coins in "SLABS" the guarantee of authenticity no longer applies if the slab is opened.

Buyers present at the auction acquire items strictly „as seen“ and complaints will only be considered if obvious defects have been overlooked and not described in the catalogue. Bidders purchasing by written bid have the possibility to inspect the auction lots during the days of viewing themselves, or by sending a representative. Complaints due to a difference in opinion on the state of preservation of a lot will not be considered. No complaint, whatsoever, will be considered for lots containing more than one item.

Telephone bids will only be accepted for lots in value of CHF 3'000.– or more and must be an- nounced to the auctioneer 48 hours before begin of the auction. Registrations for “Live-Bidding” will be possible until 24 hours before the auction begins.

The auction catalogue that is published in the internet has only informative character. For the auction sale the printed catalogue is relevant.

The place of performance and court of jurisdiction regarding relations between the organizers of the auction and the buyer shall be Zurich. In all other respects, the conditions are those customary for auction sales held in Zurich. The re- sponsible auctioneer is an official of the SINCONA AG. The municipal representative present at the auction, as well as the Municipality or the State, will take no responsibility for the actions of the auctioneer. These conditions are available in German, French, Russian and English, the German version being definitive in the event of any disputes.

They have been dated from the 6th to the late 3rd century BC. The propounders of a later period of striking see a relationship to the 2nd Punic War and consider the marks of value to be in Roman asses. However in the last years many researchers have returned to the early dating of the 4th century.
