cent, on amounts under $100— over $100, 5 per cent. a uniform —

that each lot is sold to the highest bidder, at so much for each coin
in the lot, so if you which contains 10 pieces,
desire a lot of coins

Always state your highest price, relying on the honor of those you
employ to make the purchase for you at the lowest possible figure.
The coins will be on exhibition at the Auction Rooms, on the day
of sale, from 10 A. M. to 5 P. M.
