Bidders are required to make their own inspection of the items that they are bidding on. All descriptions of the items are believed to be correct and have been conscientiously described by a reliable source, however the auctioneer or seller does not guarantee said descriptions. Placing a bid on an item is the Bidder's acceptance of the condition of the item based on their inspection of the item whether inspection was done in person or online.

COIN AND CURRENCY: The items described in this on-line auction as to grade, mintmark, quality, designation, variety, rarity, provenance, and historic relevance are qualified statements of good faith opinion and not warranties. Buyers are strongly recommended and encouraged to research the items being offered prior to purchase. Buyer assumes all risks concerning and related to the grading, quality, origin, type, date, mint mark, condition, grade, count, and accuracy of any lot. Buyers should determine purchases based upon their own (e)valuation. Buyers acknowledge that coin grading is not an exact science; it is possible that two parties might grade the same coin differently. Coins sold reflecting a third-party grading service are sold "as is" without any express or implied warranty. Auctioneer is not bound by any prior or subsequent opinion, determination, or certification by any grading service. The Bidder specifically waives any claim to right of return of any item because of the opinion, determination, certification, or lack thereof, by any grading service. Markings/Grades on lots that are not from a “Professional Grading Service” are not guaranteed. The auction company does not represent those markings and you as the buyer will need to determine your own gradings and adjust your bidding accordingly. There is no guarantee or warranty implied or expressed that the grading standards of current lots will meet the standards of any grading services in the future. It should be noted that consensus grading is employed by most grading services. Grading is not an exact science. In fact, it is entirely possible that if a lot is broken out of the plastic holder and resubmitted to another grading service, or even the same service, the lot could come back with a different grade assigned. ABSOLUTELY NO RETURNS ON THE BASIS OF GRADE. Your bidding will signify that you have examined the items, or that you have chosen not to examine them. All items are sold as-is, where-is. We do not accept returns and do not give refunds. All sales are final.

EXPLANATION OF STAGGERED CLOSING & SOFT CLOSE ***Staggered Close: If you'll notice in the Title of our Auction, it states that bidding BEGINS to close at 2:00pm CDT (Kansas Time). However, ALL items do not close together at that time. Items will close in the order listed on the site, (unless affected by the Soft Close as explained below) and typically close at the rate of 2 items per minute (every 30 seconds). Our Auction was set up this way intentionally so that bidders can have time to evaluate their overall progress in a sale as individual items close. You may also click on "Live Catalog" to view, in real time format, the lots that have current activity. Soft Close: Additionally, if an item receives a bid within the last 1 minute, then the close time will be extended 1 minute from the time the bid is placed. The time will continue to be extended for 1 minute with each newly placed bid and the item will not close until1 minute has elapsed with no additional bid activity. This does eliminate "snipers" from our Internet Auctions. Please be certain that we have taken every precaution to set the site up in a transparent manner that allows for the fairest environment for both buyers and sellers. ***Griffin Real Estate and Auction (Auction Company) is providing an Internet auction as a service to Bidder.
