Risk Disclosure

Authenticity Risks

Forgery and counterfeiting are risks associated with the purchase of rare coins. To minimize these risks, it is recommended that investors only buy coins certified by one of the leading coin grading services (NGC and PCGS). With the exception of uncertified circulated coins, each coin sold by the American Eagle Reserve and Aerlooms has been graded by either the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) or by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Each of these coin grading services is recognized within the coin grading industry for its superior expertise and each guarantees unequivocally that coins certified by it are authentic. The American Eagle Reserve and Aerlooms relies upon those guarantees in selling coins, and does not independently verify whether certified coins are authentic. Accordingly, the American Eagle Reserve and Aerlooms expressly disclaims any express or implied warranties otherwise attaching to the coins, including that the coins are merchantable.

Grading Risks

The value of a coin is highly dependent upon the condition or ‘grade’ of that coin. Since coin grading is a subjective process, there is a risk in acquiring coins whose grade have not been independently certified by one of the leading independent coin grading services. The possibility exists that a coin could be misgraded by one of these independent grading services, and it is possible for such services to assign a different grade to the same coin upon resubmission. The guarantees provided by such services provide protection against misgrading, given the continuing solvency of the services. The American Eagle Reserve and AERLOOMS cannot be responsible for any of the services’ guarantees or for subsequent changes in their policies and expressly disclaims implied warranties associated with the grades assigned by PCGS and NGC.

Volatility

The coin market is subject to substantial fluctuations including significant and rapid increases and decreases in value from time to time. Investors must be able to assume the risk of such price fluctuations.

Investment Performance

During the period in which relatively accurate statistics have been maintained, many rare coins have shown an excellent record as appreciating assets. The American Eagle Reserve and Aerlooms believe that rare coins are excellent long-term investments, but the future is never certain. The past performance of coins is a guide, not a prediction, of future events. The American Eagle Reserve and Aerlooms are always prepared to assist you in selecting coins for your portfolio or collection. You understand, however, that the decision to purchase coins, and which coins to purchase, is ultimately yours alone.

Unregulated State of the Rare Coins Market

The coin market is not subject to some of the forms of governmental regulation applicable to other forms of investment. Conversely, there can be no assurance that, in the future, regulations that materially affect the coin market will not be imposed. At present, there are no restrictions on the ownership of rare coins, and rare coin ownership offers certain tax and privacy advantages. However, there is no guarantee that the existing electronic coin exchange, which has brought certain benefits to the rare coin market, may not limit or suspend its operations, which could be disruptive to the rare coin market.

Bid Price

The American Eagle Reserve and Aerlooms are major buyers of rare coins. If you wish to sell your coins in the future, we encourage you to offer them to us first, although we cannot guarantee to make a bid on every coin or that our bid will equal or exceed those from other coin dealers. Should the American Eagle Reserve and Aerlooms make a bid on your coins, it is our current practice, which is subject to change without notice, to offer to buy back coins that it currently sells. The American Eagle Reserve and Aerlooms will offer the current bid price (the price at which it buys back coins sight-unseen from its clients). That bid price is raised or lowered on a daily, even hourly, basis, depending upon various market conditions, our inventory needs and the price and availability of comparable coins.

Economic Forces

The success of and investment in rare coins is dependent, at least in part, upon extrinsic economic forces including supply, demand, international monetary conditions and inflation or the expectation of inflation. The impact of these forces on the value of coins cannot be predicted with certainty. No assurance can be given that an investor will be able to sell his or her coins at a price greater than or equal to their acquisition cost. Rare coins are not suitable investments for investors seeking current income.

Arbitration

Any controversy or claim arising out of relating to transactions between you and the American Eagle Reserve and Aerlooms shall be settled by arbitration conducted in Jefferson County, Texas. Judgement upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in and court having jurisdiction thereof.
