IS THIS YOUR FIRST AUCTION CATALOG?

Occasionally a collector writes us asking why our estimated values in some instances are higher than the catalog listing. This occurs when the demand is so great and the supply so small that new records are set whenever these come upon the market. If one will take a few moments to reflect, he will understand that it takes several months to compile the necessary information before the catalog can be published, therefore, it is inevitable that the catalog listing will be under the prevailing market price on the items in popular demand at the time of the publication.The estimated prices are entered only after careful examination of various records and publications which reflect the actual and not theoretical values. (PLEASE NOTE THAT MANY OF THE ESTIMATES ARE CATA- LOG VALUE ONLY. MANY OF THE GOLD COINS, SILVER $1, WASHINGTON QUARTERS, CURRENCY, ETC. ARE ESTIMATED AT CATALOG). In the final analysis, you the collector, are the one who sets the price.
BIDS ARE RECORDED AS FOLLOWS: Each bid sheet is given a number as it comes in, and the bids are recorded. In the event of identical bids, the first bidder receives the 'ot. At the last day of the sale, the books are closed with the highest bidder on each lot being awarded the lot at an advance of not over 5% above the next highest bidder. For i lustration — the two highest bids received on a lot may be $17 and $20. The highest bid- der who bid $20 would receive the lot at $17.50. We act as your agent and use your bids as a limit — not as a final bid unless we are forced to do so to obtain the lot. We accept unlimited bids which generally assures the bidder of obtaining that lot regardless of what the highest bid may be. Where the lot is bringing far more than we believe it is worth, or in the event of two unlimited bidders on the same lot, we notify the unlimited bidders by phone or wire, if necessary, in order to obtain a fixed limit to the bid. Even tho auction purchases are supposed to be final, we do not want you to keep any lots which you be- lieve are improperly described. We endeaver to treat our customers as we would wish to be treated. We try to keep it on a friendly basis and va'ue the many friends we have made thru the years. If you have any complaints, we want to hear them, as well as any compli- ments.
YOUR SUCCESSFUL BIDS WILL INSURE YOUR RECEIVING SUCCESSIVE CATALOGS WITHOUT INTERRUPTION
BARGAINS
In every sale, some lots go at “bargain prices.” May we suggest that in addition to bidding on those lots you “really want,” you place nominal bids on those lots that “you might buy if they went at bargain prices.” While you may not obtain many of these “bar- gain lots”, yet in every sale you may pick up some real bargains.
Sincerely,
A. M. KAGIN and PAUL KAGIN

YOU MUST BE SATISFIED
Our Sales Are Cataloged With You in Mind. If you have any suggestions, complaints, (yes we receive some now and then), we want to hear them. Having catalogued over two hundred seventy successful coin sales, we believe we are qualified to advise and help you with your numismatic problems. No, we don’t ‘ know-it-all” but we do know where to obtain the information we don’t have.
We have a number of want lists on hand for the scarce and rare United States coins and currency. Our average commission for obtaining these speci- mens is only 10 per cent, therefore we believe we can pay the top price for your choice and scarce pieces, no matter how rare. Don’t you think it is worth a 8c airmail stamp to find out what we would pay for your outstanding pieces? Naturally we buy collections, too.

SOMETHING NEW HAS BEEN ADDED
We wish to call your attention to the new service extended as per the bottom if the bid sheet. After receiving requests to apply the amount saved in the award- ing of successful bids below the bids authorized we decided to avail this service to all of our clients. It is often exasperating to lose a lot by a few nickels when the amount saved on the successful bids would have been sufficient to increase the original bid to the point necessary to receive the lot. Check the bottom of your bid sheet.
