<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1236825, member: 66"]I checked the T&C of a couple other english auction houses and that does appear to be fairly standard. That is not the case with US auction houses they do guarantee authenticity With the possible exception of slabbed coins which according to the standard US boilerplate are not returnable for any reason. (You have a problem take it up with the slabbing company.) And of course since today almost every coin sold by the major houses are slabbed that means they no longer guarantee authenticity either. Actually most US terms of sale are somewhat confusing because they tend to have some internal contradictions. They guarantee all coins to be genuine, but slabs are not returnable for any reason. I would assume that includes for reasons of authenticity. This is from Heritage terms of sale:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This statement</p><p><br /></p><p>Or a variation of it does tend to appear in US auction house terms of sale.</p><p><br /></p><p>From Heritage[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
