No lots purchased by those who have viewed the lots may be returned, unless the limited warranty provided in these terms of sale permits it.
(b) Grading is a subjective description in the opinion of the cataloguer as to the state of preservation, method of strike, and overall appearance of a particular coin or lot.

(c) STACK’S does not represent that a numismatic item has or has not been cleaned; that any toning is natural or artificial; that any coin catalogued will meet the standards, or the grade, of any third party or third party grading service; that a numismatic item has a particular provenance or pedigree; that a numismatic item is struck or not struck, or produced or not produced in a particular manner or style.
(d) Adjectival descriptions and terminology (which can and does vary among experts and knowledgeable purchasers), when utilized in the catalogue, are strictly the opinion of the cataloguer and shall not be deemed to be part of the description; i.e. it is an opinion only and not a warranty of any kind.
(e) Grading descriptions in this catalogue are provided strictly for the convenience of those who bid by mail and who are unable to personally view the coins, and represents the cataloguer’s opinion of its state of preservation. Those attending the sale, and those bidders who actually view the lots should draw their own conclusions as to the state of preservation or grade of the numismatic item.
(D STACK’S may utilize numerical or adjectival descriptions, and may include lots that have been graded by others. Opinions offered with respect to numismatic properties offered for sale by STACK’S are made at the time that the numismatic item is catalogued, and do not refer to any prior or spbsequent time.
(g) Where STACK’S sells a numismatic item graded and encapsulated by a grading service. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that other grading services, STACK’S or knowledgeable purchasers might reach a different conclusion as to the state of preservation of a particular item, and that STACK’S has presented the service’s description of the encapsulat- ed item for accommodation only.

(h) Except as otherwise expressly stated in the Terms of Sale, STACK’S and its agents and employees make no warranties or guaranties or representations, and expressly disclaim all warranties and guaranties and representations, including, without limitation, a warranty of merchantability, in connection with any numis- matic properties sold by STACK’S.

STACK’S further expressly disclaims all warranties relating to the grade, condition, identification of the periods or date of coining or manufacture or methods of manufacture of property which is inaccurate, or may be proved inaccu- rate, by means of scientific process or research which is not generally accepted for use until after the sale.
21. STACK’S reminds the Buyer that the grading or condition of rare coins may have a material effect on the value of the items purchased; that others may differ with the grading opinions or interpretations of STACK’S; that such difference of opinion (including whether the coin has been cleaned, or is or is not of a particular grade or quality) is not grounds to return an item purchased; and that all sales of items viewed by a Purchaser in advance of a sale, even if the sale is by mail, are final.
22. By purchasing in this sale. Buyer agrees that they shall have no recourse against the Consignor for any reason whatsoever. In the event that a warranty is offered with respect to grade or state of preservation or condition, it shall be a specific warranty, in writing, signed by a principal of STACK’S, and shall specify its terms and conditions and duration.

Because of the fungibility of numismatic items, any item removed from its holder may not be returned for any reason whatsoever.
23. (a) On any claim made by a bidder, STACK’S must be advised in writing sent within seven days after receipt of the material, or the date of the sale, whichever is the later; these dates apply whether or not the Buyer has received
the material. The disputed property must be returned to STACK’S in the same condition as sold by STACK’S, in the same holder.
(b) These conditions are binding and absolute unless varied in writing by a principal of STACK’S or if the bylaws, rules or regulations of the Professional Numismatists Guild, Inc., provide for a longer period, or give the Buyer a greater right, in which case such bylaws, rules or regulations shall prevail. Any and all claims of the Buyer made in violation of the Terms of Sale shall be deemed waived, and the Buyer shall be without further recourse.
24. If STACK’S, in its sole discretion, determines that any numismatic property is substantially and materially different from that represented in the catalogue of sale, or in any written advertisement or material, the sale shall be cancelled and STACK’S shall refund the purchase price to the Buyer.

A lower rate, or shorter period, may be decided by the arbitrators.

STACK’S GRADING POLICY For Mint State or Uncirculated coins
Stack’s believes that adjectival grading is the best way to describe a coin. However, as numerical grading has become part of the grading vocabulary. Stack’s wishes to define the adjectival and numerical grading as Stack’s interprets it in this catalogue. Others may differ from this interpretation. See our Terms of Sale above for a full explanation.
Comparative Grading Language
Brilliant Uncirculated is at least MS-60 and means that it is probable that the coin has not entered general circulation; the coin may have heavy contact marks, noticeable hairlines and have original luster (or be impaired). It is the lowest state of preservation of uncirculated coins. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated is at least MS-63, which means that it has more attractive eye appeal than an MS-60, may have original or slightly impaired luster, may have a few scattered hairlines or even a small patch of hairlines; and may have some distracting contact marks in the field or design. Gem Brilliant Uncirculated is at least MS-65 and has very pleasing eye appeal (more so than an MS-63) and full lustre. It may have a few scattered hairlines and may also have a minimal number of contact marks. Scuff marks may show. STACK’S does not represent that a numismatic item has or has not been cleaned; that any toning is natural or artificial; that any coin catalogued will meet the standards, or the grade, of any third party or third party grading service. It should be under- stood by all that grading is a subjective art and that others may differ from these interpretations.

STACK’S GRADING POLICY For Mint State or Uncirculated Coins
Stack s believes that adjectival grading is the best way to describe a coin. However, a numerical grading has become part 0 the grading vocabulary, Stack s wishes to define the adjectival and numerical grading as Stack’s interprets it in this catalogue. Others may differ from this interpretation. See our Terms of Sale for a full explanation.
Comparative Grading Language
Brilliant Uncirculated is at least MS-60 and means that it is probable that the coin has not entered general circula- tion, the coin may have heavy contact marks, noticeable hairlines and have original luster (or be impaired). It is the lowest state of preservation of uncirculated coins. Choice Brilliant Uncirculated is at least MS-63, which means that it has more a ractive eye appeal than an MS-60, may have original or slightly impaired lustre, may have a few scattered hairlines or even a small patch of hairlines; and may have some distracting contact marks in the field or design. Gem Brilliant Uncirculated is at lea.st MS-65 and has very pleasing eye appeal (more so than an MS-63) and full lustre. It may have a ew scattered hairlines and may also have a minimal number of contact marks. Scuff marks may show. STACK’S does not represent that a numismatic item has or has not been cleaned; that any toning is natural or artificial; that any coin ca a ogued will meet the standards, or the grade, of any third party or third party grading service. It should be understood y a hat grading is a subjective art and that others may differ from these interpretations.
