are now using Auction mobility as their online bidding platform. All bidders must register at BID.NUMISLIT.COM or download the Kolbe & Fanning app in the Apple or Google Play Store Beginning with this auction, Kolbe & Fanning are using Auction Mobility as their third-party online bidding platform. If you wish to participate in the sale online, you will need to register at BID.NUMISLIT.COM. You can use this address to set up a new account, register for the sale, browse lots, place absentee bids in the sale, or participate in the live sale online. Users should expect a cleaner, more user-friendly interface that is highly intuitive. Registered bidders can track lots, view photos and descriptions, and place bids from their computer, tablet or phone. Most importantly, the Auction Mobility platform is app-based, which means that while you may certainly use it on your computer, you can download our new Kolbe & Fanning app onto your phone or tablet and fully participate in that way. The app can send you push notifications when the sale is about to start, when watched lots are coming up, or when you are outbid. You can stream live sales and participate on the device of your choice. Your devices and computer are fully synced, making it easy to use whichever is most convenient at a given time. We did not make this decision to change lightly, and we understand that it can be inconvenient to have to set up a new account and get used to a new platform. We genuinely believe, however, that the Auction Mobility platform will prove itself to be worth the bother. It is used by some of the larger coin companies (including Stack’s-Bowers Galleries and Harlan J. Berk), so many of you will have already had some experience with it. Since this is the first time we have used this platform, we do strongly encourage interested bidders to register in advance and set up an account on the new platform soon. As always, we accept bids through post, email, phone and fax as well: please see the Terms of Sale for full details.

This is an online and mail-bid sale. Absentee bids will be accepted by mail, fax, email and phone until the day before the live online sale. On the day of the live online sale, only bids placed via the live online platform will be accepted: no phone, fax, email or mail bids can be entered on the day of the sale. 2. All lots will be sold to the highest bidder at the time of the sale. All bids (whether placed online or by mail, fax, email or phone) will be treated as limits and lots will be purchased below these limits where competition permits. 3. Absentee bidders should be mindful that bids submitted in irregular increments may be rounded to a lower bid to comply with the online platform’s established bidding increments. 4. Unless exempt by law, the buyer will be required to pay 7.5% sales tax on the total purchase price of all lots delivered in Ohio. Purchasers may also be liable for compensating use taxes in other states, which are solely the responsibility of the purchaser. Foreign bidders may be required to pay duties, fees or taxes in their respective countries, which are also the responsibility of the bidders. 5. This is not an approval sale. Any claims for adjustment by bidders must be made within three days after receipt of lots purchased. No lots may be returned without our written permission. By submitting bids you agree to the Terms of Sale. 6. Bidders unknown to us must supply acceptable credit references or a 25% deposit to assure entry of their bids. Registration of unknown bidders on the live online platform will constitute approval only when the bidder provides an acceptable credit card number with registration. 7. This is a reserve auction. The estimates of value are intended solely as a guide. Starting prices for this sale are at approximately two-thirds of estimate, though this may vary. Kolbe & Fanning reserve the right to purchase items in this sale for customers or stock at their discretion. 8. A buyer’s premium of 18% will be added to the cost of all lots purchased. 9. We reserve the right to withdraw any lot prior to sale for any reason. 10. All postage, insurance and shipping charges will be added to the buyer’s invoice. There will be a $3.00 charge per lot for processing. 11. A late payment fee of 2% per month will be charged on accounts remaining unpaid 30 days after the sale. 12. This sale is conducted in U.S. dollars. Payment may be made by check, money order, credit card, PayPal or wire transfer. All checks must be in U.S. dollars and drawn on U.S. banks. Our bank account details will be provided on request for wire transfers, and any bank charges must be paid by the sender. Invoices may be paid by credit card or PayPal, but the bidder agrees to pay a 3% bank fee for doing so. 13. Lots to be mailed to addresses not in the United States or its Territories will be sent only at the risk of the purchaser. When possible, postal insurance will be obtained. Packages covered by private insurance will be so covered at a cost of 1% of total value, to be paid by the buyer. 14. Title to all lots remains with the cataloguer until paid for in full. Payment must be made immediately upon notification or upon receipt of material. The discretionary right to withhold delivery of lots until full payment has been received is reserved. 15. All lots are as described. We acknowledge the possibility of errors or typographical mistakes, and any errors on our part will be cheerfully cor- rected. We cannot be responsible for your errors; please check your bid sheet carefully. 16.
