Guide for Bidders 

Coins

1. Lots will open at 80% of the estimates stated in the catalogue. No bids under this limit will be accepted.

2. Goods subject to sale in a margin: The hammer price is the basis for the calculation of the buyers' premium. Buyers from Germany and EU-countries will be charged a premium of 25%; the relevant VAT is already included in this amount. Buyers from countries outside the EU will be charged a premium of 20%. As far as these buyers export the goods in person or by a third party the relevant VAT will be charged but refunded after receiving the legal proof of exportation. In case that we export the goods the relevant VAT will not be charged. Bidders are responsible for respecting customs laws of the countries of destination of the lots.

3. Goods subject to tax in full or to temporary admission: In exceptional cases the lots are subject to taxation in full (marked with +) or to temporary admission (marked with ●); these lot numbers will be indicated as such. For details regarding buyer's premium and taxes please see the condition of sales at the end of the catalogue.
