Terms and Conditions of Sale

Please note that the first 20 lots in this auction, numbered ‘A to T’, will be auctioned by way of a ‘Silent Auction’ during the Convention itself on Thursday, June 20th, 2013. These lots will be available for you to view and place your bids at the auction table on the bourse floor.

1. This is an auction sale conducted by the Chip and Gaming Token Collectors Club, Inc. (CC>CC) hereinafter referred to as “the Club” and “Auctioneer”. Participation in the floor bidding of the sale will be limited to members of the Club. The Auctioneer may not withdraw any lot after a call for bids from the floor of the sale has been made. This is an auction sale and not a fixed price list. This is not an approval sale. Lots may be returned only if there has been a misrepresentation of the merchandise. All sales will be considered final on the 30th day after the close of the sale. Lots are sold to the highest bidder as of the close of the sale on Thursday, June 20, 2013.

2. The highest bidder acknowledged by Auctioneer shall be the buyer. In the event of any dispute between bidders, the Auctioneer may at his sole discretion immediately put the lot up for sale again. The Auctioneer’s decision shall be final and binding upon all bidders. The Auctioneer reserves the right to accept or reject any bid at his discretion. We will not accept a ‘buy” bid on any lot. The Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse blanket or ‘total value” bids. The Auctioneer reserves the right to refuse to honor any bid or to limit the amount of any bid which in his opinion is not submitted in “Good Faith” or as the case dictates, is not supported by satisfactory credit references, as the Auctioneer in its sole discretion shall determine. Reserved lots are noted, otherwise lots are unreserved. All advance bids for lots will be accepted on the floor of the convention until 5pm, Thursday, June 20, 2013, at which time ALL bidding will close for the Silent Auction Lots ‘A to T’.

Bids are to be submitted according to the bidding increments indicated below. Bids received in fractional amounts will be rounded down to the next bidding increment. If your bid is the highest bid we receive for the lot, and you comply with the terms of the sale, you will be the buyer of that lot. Raises in floor bidding will be made in the same fixed increments. There will be a minimum starting price of $5 for all donated lots, and $50 for all consigned lots, except for lower value items or where vendors have given permission for this to be lower. This will apply for all advance and proxy bids although the auctioneer may alter this in the auction room at his discretion only in the event of no bids whatsoever having been made.

The Auctioneer is selling only such right or title to the merchandise being sold as Auctioneer may have by virtue of his consignment agreements on the date of sale and disclaims any warranty of title to the merchandise. Any description of the gaming checks, gaming tokens or other items contained in this catalog is for the sole purpose of identifying the items in the lot and no description of the lots has been made part of the basis of the bargain or has created any express warranty that the goods would conform to any description made by the Auctioneer.

10. The descriptions provided in this catalog are intended solely for the use of those bidders who cannot view the lots in person prior to bidding. All bidders who have inspected the lots prior to the auction will not be granted any return privileges, except for reasons of authenticity. It is presumed that all floor bidders have inspected the lots prior to bidding. Therefore, lots purchased by floor bidders are sold “as is” and may NOT be returned. Floor bidders include those bidders acting as agent for others. No claims of any kind (except for reasons of authenticity) can be considered after the settlements have been made with the consignors. Any dispute after the settlement date, June 22, 2012, is strictly between the bidder and consignor without involvement or responsibility of the Auctioneer. The Auctioneer or affiliates may consign items to be sold in this auction sale, and may bid on those items or any other in the sale. The Auctioneer or affiliates expressly reserves the right to modify its bids on these items or any others at any time based upon data made known to the Auctioneer or its affiliate. In the event of an attribution error, the Auctioneer may, at the Auctioneer’s sole discretion, correct the error orally at the sale, or, if discovered at a later date, to refund the buyer’s money without further obligation. Under no circumstances shall the obligation of the Auctioneer to any bidder be in excess of the buyer’s premium for any lot in dispute. If any disputes arise regarding payment or authenticity, or grading between bidder and Auctioneer, or any other matter pertaining to the sale, the bidder, a participant or the Auctioneer the dispute shall be submitted, if otherwise mutually unresolved to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (A.A.A.). If an election not made within (10) days of an unresolved dispute, Auctioneer may elect the Casino Chip and Gaming Token Collectors Club (CC>CC).

As stated in the call for lots, there will be a 10% commission fee to the seller on all RESERVED & UNRESERVED lots.

11. Consignors have the right to protect their own UNRESERVED lots by bidding in advance, by proxy or in the live auction room. A consignor that buys back his lot will pay the regular 10% buyers premium but the 10% sellers commission will be waived.

12. Estimates of the value of lots are based on our knowledge of the market and rarity of the item. Unless specifically noted, all lots in the sale are to be sold without reserve. Reserve lots are noted. Lots have been fully described as accurately as we can. Grading of the lots is generally based on the OFFICIAL CC>CC GRADE & CONDITION DESCRIPTIONS.

Casino Chip & Gaming Token Collectors Club • Auction 2013 • Page 3

GRADING DESCRIPTIONS or STANDARDS are a result of natural use of chips and tokens. The following five grades have been adopted and endorsed by the Casino Chip & Gaming Token Collectors Club: NEW, SLIGHTLY USED, AVERAGE, WELL-USED and POOR.

GAMING CHECKS & CHIPS:

GRADE DESCRIPTION OF GRADE

New (N) Never used in games; square and round edge chips will be as from the manufacturer with absolutely no wear, no dings or nicks; no scratches on surface of chip or inlay.

Slightly Used (SU) Only slight signs of use, edge still crisp but ever so slightly dulled with very little wear; cross hatching may show slight wear near edge; few or no edge nicks; still retains luster in mold design; bold hot-stamp; inlays excellent.

Average (A) Typical chip found in play after months/years of use; slightly rounded edges; will have minor defects such as small nicks on edges; inlays are beginning to show even wear and about half of the cross hatching has worn from the body surface; hot-stamps have dulled, beginning to show even wear and may be missing a small amount of foil.

Well-Used (WU) Moderate and uniform wear of edge, surface and hot stamp; noticeable edge nicks and/or surface scratches; no luster in mold design; cross hatching is nearly worn off; hot-stamp is still readable but much of the foil is missing.

Poor (P) Edges that were formerly sharp and square, are now well worn like bicycle tires; Original hot-stamp foil is mostly missing with only the recesses visible (may have to hold towards a light); moderate to large chips (nicks); surface cross hatching barely visible (if at all); severe scratches to inlay or chip surface; severe color fading; partial war up to half of CHIPCO design from the edge of the chip. (Damage, such as cracks, breaks, missing inlay or other chip structure, does not apply to this category.)

Specimen, Sample, Produced by the manufacturer as imprimaturs of a type of chip, or for Prototype, Pattern submission to a gaming operator or gaming control authority as representative, for approval. May or may not be completely finished.

GAMING TOKENS:

GRADE DESCRIPTION OF GRADE

New (N) Never used in games or slot machines; only slight handling marks on higher relief surfaces, commonly referred to as “bag marks’ from being jostled upon delivery; original mint luster and sheen present; no signs of wear [Compare with coin standard “brilliant uncirculated” and “uncirculated.”

Slightly Used (SU) Near mint condition with minimum circulation; very minor rubs & scratches; retains most of the luster & sheen. [Compare with coin standard “almost uncirculated.”]

Average (A) Typical token found in play after months/years of play; will display many surface scratches and edge dings; may still retain a little luster or sheen. [Compare with coin standard “circulated.”]

Casino Chip & Gaming Token Collectors Club • Auction 2013 • Page 4 Well-Used (WU) Scratches, dents, no luster or sheen; well-used token that has seen considerable use. [Compare with coin standard “very circulated.”]

Poor (P) Severe edge dings and/or scratches/ gouges; pitted, corroded or blackened. [Compare with coin standard “worn.”]

Specimen, Sample Produced by the manufacturer as imprimaturs of a type of token, or for Prototype, Pattern submission to a gaming operator or gaming control authority as representative for approval. May or may not be completely finished.

CONDITION DESCRIPTIONS or STANDARDS are unnatural changes in chips and tokens as a result of other causes. Specimens in this “Condition” category may be graded in any of the five “Grading Descriptions.” A cancelled, damaged or defective chip or token can be graded in any category from “NEW” to “POOR.” However, a dirty, cracked or faded chip cannot be graded as NEW, even if it has not been played in a casino. It is not in the original grade as when it was made. The “Condition” category consists of the following terms that should be used as qualifiers to further accurately describe the five grades: (Examples: New/Clipped; Average/Warped)

1. CANCELLED or MODIFIED (Either by the manufacturer or the casino) A. Drilled C. Overstamped E. Bent G. Plated B. Notched D. Clipped F. Painted

2. DAMAGE A. Severe nicks or chunks B. Loose or missing inlay C. Cracked D. Broken E. Warped F. Permanent stain G. Severe fading H. Cigarette burn(s), fire damage I. Over-cleaning J. Severe scratching or gouging K. Shaved edge (example: to fit in a bezel) L. Water damage M. Burial damage N. Clouding of sterling silver tokens, a symptom of PVC exposure O. Corrosion P. Anodized for different colors Q. Plated R. Obliteration of details

3. MANUFACTURER DEFECTS OR MODIFICATIONS

A. Inlay or die strike off-center (slight, moderate, extreme) B. Some of the script or photo is missing from the inlay C. Some of the hot-stamp is missing D. Manufacturer modification (example: one side of chip includes manufacturer’s advertising information, even though the other side uses the actual casino chip design)

E. Ivory chips only - nerve holes (small, moderate, or extreme, as a “see through”) F. Foreign material struck into tokens

Casino Chip & Gaming Token Collectors Club • Auction 2013 • Page 5 4. MANUFACTURER ERRORS

A. Incorrect inlay or graphic (example: Inlay or graphic is supposed to be different on each side of chip, but it is the same; mismatched dies used for tokens) B. Wrong mold C. Double-strike (token) or of hot-stamp (chip) D. Mistake in color or number of edge inserts E. Strikes on metals other than standard (tokens) F. Railroad edge strikes G. Planchet clips (tokens) H. Strikes on wrong size planchets (tokens)

5. PROOF or PROOF-LIKE

For tokens, pieces produced on highly polished planchets and double-struck to produce an exceptional image on a mirror-like surface.

6. CLEANLINESS (or the lack thereof, resulting in a soiled chip or token)

This may not be a permanent condition. To clean or not to clean is the choice of the owner. While cleaning chips is a commonly accepted practice for aesthetic or hygienic purposes, it does not improve the grade but may damage the chip and diminish its value and grade. On the other side, non-cleaning should have no effect on the grade unless the specimen is so dirty that grading is not possible. In a situation involving a permanent stain that cannot he easily removed, the chip or token will fall into the “Damaged” category. Some collectors take the position that chips and tokens should remain in their ‘natural state” and should not be cleaned.

Lot 174 $5 Venetian error Las Vegas

Catalog #: V3585 Mold: House Condition: Average Est. Value: $80 - $100 Minimum Bid: $25 From: 1999

There might still be a few out there… happy hunting!
