Please note that we must be able to confirm your billing address if you use a credit card. For those of you overseas this may be difficult so we ask that you include a numismatic reference.

24. The minimum acceptable bid on any lot is at least 60% of the estimate. In some cases a reserve may be higher than that, but it will never be higher than the estimate. We have made every effort to make the estimates realistic and conservative. In addition no bids on coins and medals of precious metal lots will be accepted that are below the melt value of the item. For our auction purposes we are defining precious metals as being of silver, gold, platinum or palladium. The price of gold as we write this is $860 per troy ounce and silver is $11. As you are well aware the markets are in a state of turmoil and these prices will probably be different when you read this and then again different when the sale closes. There is no platinum or palladium in this sale.

WHERE ARE THE PHOTOS?   (back to top)

If you immediately went to the back of the catalog and looked for pictures and they weren't there, do not fret. All the images are up on our website at www.rosenlbumcoins.com. They are all in color (or should be) and there are many more of them then usual.

After a number of years of debating the question and seeing the costs of mailing and photography escalate we decided to take a step into the 21st century and put the pictures on our website only and not in the catalog. We weighed this decision carefully and thoughtfully but we could no longer justify the time and the costs involved in having a printed catalog with photographs.

However we now have almost all single lots photographed in color on our website. For those of you who have access to a computer but not the internet or for those of you who want "to keep" the photographs we will try to make a read only disc available of the catalog for $10.

BIDDING IN OUR MAILBID SALE   (back to top)

We will stop taking bids at 9:00 PM on November 13th or when our phone and/or Fax stops ringing for 10 minutes. Please do not wait until the last minute and get shut out. In every sale a number of bidders could not get through on the last night.

We suggest you bid above estimate if you want an item as high bids will be reduced. Our bid sheets offer several bidding options that can save you money, optimize your bids and see that you get the lots that you really want. If you are unsure of how to use these options, please give us a call and we will be more than happy to explain them to you.

Please keep in mind that in some cases there may be unpublished reserves set either by the consignor or the cataloger and no bids of less than 60% of estimate are considered. We do not have a call back service, but after placing your bid you may contact us as many times as you like to check on your bids. And we take seriously the commitment to reduce bids. We do not reveal the high bid of any lot, but if you have placed a bid on a lot, you may contact us after your bid has been placed and we will tell you if you are the high bidder.

Usually well over 1/3 of all successful bids are reduced and over 75% of successful bidders have at least one of their winning bids reduced. We believe that the best strategy to being a successful bidder is placing your bids early and not waiting until the last minute.

Please keep in mind that we can not guarantee who is the last bidder. If someone calls us at 9 PM, the sale will continue for at least 10 minutes after that call is completed. If someone else calls us during that 10 minutes, the sale continues for another 10 minutes. And so on.

---

NO BUYER'S FEE   (back to top)

There has been quite a bit of discussion lately about companies that charge what some say are excessive buyer's fees. We do not charge a buyer's fees in our sales. You are charged only for the amount of your winning bid, postage and shipping charges. If you want the convenience of using your credit card we charge you a small fee to use that to help cover our costs.

LOT VIEWING SCHEDULE   (back to top)

DENVER COIN EXPO. October 30-November 2, National Western Complex, "Expo Hall", I-70 and Brighton Blvd., Denver CO. Thursday October 30th is dealer set up day. Public hours are Friday and Saturday 10 AM to 6 PM and Sunday 10 AM to 3 PM. We will have most lots in the sale available for viewing at our bourse tables during all show hours. There are some bulk lots which we will bring only if specifically asked to. Please contact us prior to the show to ensure that we bring the lots you want to see.

We plan to have the majority of the material in the sale in our office Monday through Friday beginning October 20th except for the show dates mentioned above, until the close of the sale if you need more detailed description of any of the lots. However, please contact us as well in advance of the close of the sale as possible in order that we can provide you with as much information as possible. We will be happy to return your call if we cannot provide you with the information you require when you call, fax or email.

We will confirm all email bids received within 24 hours of receiving the bid. If you do not receive a confirmation please contact us. We have been deluged by spam as I'm sure many of you have also. Even though our filter separates most of the junk from the "real" mail, it does not do a perfect job, thus we ask that when sending us a bid or inquiring about the sale, please put "Bid" or "Mailbid Sale" or "Auction" in the subject line so we do not delete your email along with the junk we receive every day. We do not confirm mail or fax bids unless specifically asked to do so. Please write clearly on your bid sheet. If possible in addition to the lot # and your maximum bid a small description is most helpful.

No information will be available about the results of the sale until all bids have been checked and invoices written. This should take about 4 days. We will not be answering the phone until that information is ready. We hope to be ready by Monday November 17th or Tuesday November 18th at the very latest.

HIGHLIGHTS OF AUCTION 38D   (back to top)

We're actually a day ahead of schedule in getting this catalog to the printer. That's our 2nd schedule which is a week behind our first. A six day visit by our 2 year old granddaughter and her parents set us back a week. It was well worth the delay.

While this sale is smaller than most we've had it's full of numerous goodies. Our ancient section is highlighted by 2 Jewish War Shekels, as well as a Bar Kochba Sela (Tetradrachm) and numerous bronzes from the Bar Kochba Revolt. In addition the city-coin listing has some very attractive and scarce coins listed.

Among the many highlights of the world coin section is a rare high grade gold coin of Julius Popper from Tierra del Fuego, the island off the coast of Argentina. There is also various Railroad medals from around the world, our largest listing yet of coins of the Crusader States as well as a group of six satirical anti-Napoleon III coins, one from World War I. In addition there are some very enticing groups of Israeli commemoratives and 3 complete sets of Palestine coins.

Our world paper section is smaller than usual but is one of our best offering yet with the highlights being Concentration Camp notes (including two pieces from Oranienburg), Israel and a nice group of Palestine Currency Board notes.

As usual our Medallic Judaic section is full of rare and unusual items. A few highlights include 3 jetons of Hans Krauwinkel, an original struck Munich Synagogue medal in silver, a long run of Judah Magnus medals in silver and our best offering of religious and ceremonial objects in a number of years. Our section of State, Commissioned and Presentation Medals may be our best yet with numerous trials strikes and patterns as well as very rare commissioned medals.

TIERRA DEL FUEGO 1889, POPPER across granulated field / EL PARAMO UN GRAMO, granulated field representing a miner's pan, crossed pick and hammer. AU 864 AG132. KM-TN1, Fr-2. Nice EF-AU. Julius Popper was a Romanian Jewish adventurer who emigrated to Argentina in the 1880's and soon moved to Tierra del Fuego in the extreme south of the country where he created a vast feudal type estate and produced a machine for extracting gold from the mines. In 1889 he issued this coin (plus a larger 5 gramo coin) and stamps. According to Daniel Friedenberg (Jewish Minters and Medalists page 4-5) Popper's gold coins, "are the only gold coins ever issued by a Jew before the emergence of modern Israel". For more about Popper and these coins, see The Shekel Vol. III, #4, page 20; Vol. IX, #4, page 10, Vol.IX, #6, page 22, and Vol XVIII, #6, page 21. An interesting sidelight to Popper is that his father was the principal of the first Jewish school in Bucharest. Rare and seldom offered, this is a much above average specimen.
