We are not responsible for any additional customs or import fees charged to the buyer.

If a buyer has specific wishes regarding the shipment of the goods, insurance of the shipment will also be in accordance with the buyer's shipping instructions.

If the custom shipping requests result in shipping delays, shipping issues, seizure, lost or theft of the goods during transit, the goods will be insured according to the customer's requests for this or previous specific shipment request.

If the buyer has previously sent us specific shipping instructions, we will continue to use these until they have been adjusted by the customer.

The order is fully insured when shipped with the full purchase invoice value.

In the case of a jointly considered return, the order has to be returned to us first in the same condition as it was sent.

Any refunds will be made within 20 business days after the order has been returned to us and only when a jointly considered return has been agreed.

Graded banknotes/coins may contain signs of use such as minor damage or scratches on the holders. This is not a reason to change or cancel the order.

Consignors who bid on their own lots in the auction will be charged the buyer's premium on top of the hammer price.

Unsold lots are going into the aftersale for 4 weeks and will be released to consignors 4 weeks after the auction ends.

Bids submitted through third parties will be manually entered into www.crowncurrencyauctions.com

Bids submitted through third parties, that do not match our auction bidding steps will be automatically rounded up to the next bidding step.

Auction lots may have a reserve price. The reserve price will become visible during the live auction.

In case the consignor wants to use reserve prices, the consignor  will be charged a % premium if the reserve price is not achieved.
