TE R M S O F SALE This is a public, mail bid and internet auction conducted by Freeman & Sear. Bidding in the auction constitutes full acceptance of the following terms. 1)

5) 6) 7) 8)

10) 11) 12) 13)

The property contained in this auction catalog is offered for sale by Freeman & Sear for itself and on behalf of its consignors. Freeman & Sear may, at its sole discretion, set opening bidding levels, determine bidding increments, reject any bid, reopen a lot in the event of a dispute and withdraw any lot. Freeman & Sear further reserves the right to bid on its own behalf, bid on behalf of the consignor or allow the consignor to bid on his own property. An 18% buyer’s premium will be added to the hammer price of each lot sold. The buyer’s premium will be reduced to 15% if settlement is made by wire transfer, bank draft or personal check within thirty days of the auction date. The reduced buyer’s premium is not applicable for purchases made via live internet bidding. The same buyer’s fee format is applicable to all purchases of unsold lots after the sale. All property offered herein is guaranteed genuine. Grades, descriptions of condition, assessment of rarity and attribution are the opinion of the cataloguer and in no way imply or express warranty. This auction is not an approval sale. Lots may not be returned for any reason except lack of authenticity or misdescription. Group lots, containing more than one coin, are sold “as is” and may not be returned for any reason. Bidders attending the sale, including those acting as agents for others, are excluded from returning any lot for any reason except for lack of authenticity. Any claim of misdescription, excluding a claim of lack of authenticity, must be made within five days of delivery of the property. Any claim of lack of authenticity must be made in writing by the original purchaser immediately on determining the item is not authentic. The original purchaser then must return the item to Freeman & Sear in the same condition as when purchased. Settlement is due immediately upon receipt of the invoice. Interest charges and late fees of 2% per month, or the highest rate allowable by law, whichever is less, will be applied to invoices not settled within thirty days of the auction date and will accrue from the auction date. Bidders personally guarantee payment for lots purchased in the auction, including those executing commission bids for other parties. Payment by check, cash, money order, bank wire transfer, Visa, MasterCard and Discover are accepted. Checks must be made in US dollars and drawn on a US bank. All successful bidders who choose to pay by bank wire transfer will be charged an additional $35 for bank fees. Title does not pass until payment is made in full. Freeman & Sear reserves the right to maintain possession of all lots and to require full payment before delivery is made. Bidders unknown to Freeman & Sear must establish satisfactory credit prior to bidding or must pay a deposit determined by Freeman & Sear. Bids from those under 18 years of age must be accompanied by the written consent of a parent or legal guardian guaranteeing payment. Estimates printed in this catalog are in US dollars. They are intended only as a guide to bidders and not as statements of value. Selling reserves will apply to all property sold in this auction and are normally placed at, but never less than, 60% of the printed estimates. Therefore, a bid of less than 60% of estimate will not be accepted. Bids must be in even dollar amounts. Freeman & Sear will represent mail bidders and will execute mail bids at approximately 10% above the next highest bid. In the event identical mail bids are received, Freeman & Sear will execute the earliest bid. A mail bid has priority over an identical floor bid. Freeman & Sear accepts no responsibility for errors made in bidding and urges that bid sheets be checked carefully before submission. In the event a successful bidder fails to make payment when due, Freeman & Sear reserves the right to resell the property, or to have an affiliated company do so, and the bidder agrees to pay for the reasonable cost of such a sale and also to pay the difference between the resale price and the previously successful bid. Freeman & Sear also reserves any and all rights that it is entitled to under the California Uniform Commercial Code, including the right to offset any sums due from a successful bidder against any future consignment or purchase or monies or goods in possession of Freeman & Sear or its assigns. Sales tax, postage, handling and insurance are the responsibility of the buyer and these charges will be added to all invoices where applicable. Foreign purchasers are advised to comply with all customs regulations. Freeman & Sear declines any responsibility for consequences arising from contravention of such regulations. Bidders hereby waive any claim for incidental, consequential or exemplary damages arising from this auction. The sole remedy that any bidder shall have for any claim or controversy arising out of the auction shall be a refund of all or part of the purchase price. The rights conferred under these Terms of Sale are personal and may not be transferred to any other person or entity. No third party may rely on any benefit or right granted under these Terms. Any dispute regarding this auction shall be governed by the laws of California and shall be adjudicated by the appropriate courts of law in Los Angeles County, California. All bidders submit themselves to the jurisdiction of these courts for this purpose.

Head of nymph right, wearing triple pendant earring / ΜΑΣΣΑΛ (degraded), lion-scorpion with gaping mouth walking right atop double exergual line. CCCBM II 3-17, S5-34. LT 2126.

Göbl, Der norische Tetradrachmenfund 1972 aus Haimburg in Kärnten (Vienna, 1989), 85 (IIc/6). Göbl, Noricum pl. 1, 4 (Ic/3). Kostial 108. A beautiful example struck on a large flan.

Göbl, Die Hexadrachmenprägung der Gross-Boier, II/1(3). Paulsen 718-742. CCCBM I 242. Ondrouch 25-118. A fine example of this intriguing coin. Toned. Good very fine $5,000 These largest denominations of the “Biatec” series are often referred to as hexadrachms owing to the contrast in weight with the comparatively light tetradrachms struck contemporaneously in the Celtic world. They alternatively may be described as Attic weight tetradrachms.. However labled, their size and purity are testament to the prosperity of the Boii on the eve of Roman domination of the region. The present type, that associated with the beginning of the series, displays an obverse copied from the denarii of Q. Fufius Kalenus and Mucius Cordus (Crawford 403/1).

11. The Eravisci. Ansali. First century BC. Silver denarius (3.25 gm). Bearded male head right, wearing torc / ANSALI, horseman galloping left, holding round shield. Freeman 19/R (plate 29, 26; same dies). CCCBM I 265. Forrer 227. Very rare and the most idiosyncratic of all of the Eraviscan types. Toned. Nearly extremely fine $1,500 The reverse inscription ANSALI is probably the name of a local Celtic chieftain and his torc-adorned portrait is perhaps depicted on the obverse.

This variety was completely unknown prior to its appearance in Gorny & Mosch 141 (10 October 2005) where it sold for nearly $12,000. It combines the reverse type associated with the Kroisbach issues with a somewhat degraded version of the “Apollo” head obverse of the West Norican tetradrachm series.
