Floor bidders, mail bidders and phone bidders. An 18% BUYERS PREMIUM will be
charged to all icollector purchases.
5. BIDDING ADVANCES
If there are two or more mail bids, the auctioneer will commence the
bidding at approximately 10 per cent above the second highest mail bid.
If there are no floor bids for the lot, the highest mail bidder will receive
the lot at the opening bid. If there is no mail bid for a lot, the auctioneer
will commence the bidding at 50% of the estimate. If there is no floor
bid at 50% of the estimate, the auctioneer may, at his absolute discretion,
either call for an opening bid from the floor or pass on to the next lot.

acknowledged by the auctioneer shall be the buyer. In the event of any
dispute between bidders, the determination of the auctioneer is final.

Reserved lots start at the consignor’s reserve. Lots bid on and purchased
by the owner or his agent are subject to the full commission and buyer’s
premium.
8. MEANING OF ESTIMATES
Estimates represent our best professional opinion for what lots are likely
to sell for on the open market. Most lots sell for between 40% and 150%
of estimate. With a bid of 60% of estimate you have a fair chance of
succeeding; with a bid of 120% you will be very likely to succeed.
Estimates are for the most part from the ‘Trends’ values of Canadian
Coin News, various Charlton Catalogues, and the retail prices from the Canadian
Coin Dealer Newsletter, and other reliable sources.

presumed to be in U.S. funds unless indication is made to the contrary.

Grading is a subjective description in the opinion of the cataloguer as

the catalogue is strictly the opinion of the cataloguer. Where Moore’s

Buyer acknowledges and agrees that other grading services, Moore’s or
Knowledgeable purchasers might reach a different conclusion as to the
state of preservation. Any such information provided by Moore’s is the
opinion of the third party, Without Recourse against Moore’s in any way
whatsoever.
12B. Moore’s acts as an agent only between Consignor and Buyer. Moore’s
does not represent that any coin catalogued will meet the standards, or
the grade, of any third party or third party grading service; that third
party graded numismatic items will receive the same grade if
resubmitted; that any third party soft flip is secure or that a numismatic
item has a particular provenance. Moore’s hereby disclaims all liability for
damages, incidental, consequential or otherwise, arising out of or in
connection with the sale of any property by Moore’s to the purchaser. All
