Bidding Information

In the initial seven day period of the lists being sent out, collectors and dealers can place bids for the items they are particularly seeking, starting from the 15th September 2010.
After this seven day period we will knock down the coins with bids and sell them to the high bidder. For all coins with no bids we will let them go at their lower estimate i.e. after two weeks the remaining coins will be for sale at the lower estimate price plus premium. This seven day period will finish on the 22th September 2010.

Enjoy!
