note
that after Jan. 1, 2000 Empire Coins, Inc.
ENTIRELY ceased all
numismatic operations)
This is the public offering of the library of a very well-known dealer whose career spans three decades and more (and who wishes, for the time being, to be anonymous), plus a few choice additional consignments. All of these reference have been utilized to one extent or another over the years and are in no way represented as being absolutely new unless expressly stated as such. Most will have some foxing on the top edge from dust, and many will also have notations or cryptic paper notes amongst their pages (especially the auction-catalogues). Many of these have been well cared-for, and others have been not been stored so well so quite a few will have bumped corners. When significant defects exist we will indeed note them when they are noticed by us. In no case will condition alone be grounds for return. In the case of auction catalogues which are originally sent from point A to point B as cheaply as possible with absolutely no regard to whether the customer receives it in "mint condition" or not... don't be surprised if the "run" of sales you bid on has a few with bent corners or some other slight defect or is a saleroom copy with prices and buyer's names noted for many of the lots... they are from a "working library" after all.
One unusual addition to this catalog is that the
weight in POUNDS for each lot has been noted in brackets after the
description, such as [2.5#]. This is intended to aid in determining the
costs of shipping these items to you. The maximum we will put in any box
is forty pounds, and the box plus the packing materials will likely weigh
two to three additional pounds.
