The minimum bid for each lot is the starting price shown in our website.

In the event of:

- One single pre-auction bid on a lot

In the absence of bids during the auction, the lot will be awarded at the starting bid even if the sole bid received is higher (the amount of the pre-auction bid indicates the maximum bid the bidder is willing to place.

Example: Starting bid € 1,000 – Single pre-sale bid € 1,500 – Award at € 1,000

- Multiple pre-auction bids of the same amount on the same lot

If no bids are raised during the auction, the lot will be awarded to the earlier bidder.

- Multiple pre-auction bids of different amounts on the same lot

If there are no bids during the auction, the lot will be awarded to the highest bidder. The hammer price is calculated by adding to the amount of the next lowest bid an increment set out in the chart below.

Example: customer A bids € 1,200 - customer B bids € 1,800. Customer B does not win at the award price of € 1,800 but at € 1,300. In other words, the automatic increase of € 100 provided for in the chart is applied to the amount of the next lowest bid when the bids are within the € 1,000-1,999 bracket.

Clients who purchase coins with the intention of having them encapsulated at a later date are reminded that grading companies do not encapsulate significantly restored, tooled or heavily repatinated coins.

See Chart B (below) for further details on the nomenclature used to describe possible conservative and/or restorative interventions.
