Inc. (the shares referred to as "COMMON SHARES" and the shares so purchased
referred to as the "WARRANT SECURITIES") from Tangible Asset Galleries, Inc.
(the "COMPANY"), at a purchase price of Twenty Three Cents ($0.23) per share
("SHARE PRICE").

1. EXERCISABILITY. This Warrant may be exercised in whole or in part at any
time, or from time to time, up to July 3, 2006, (the "EXPIRATION DATE") by

duly executed and accompanied by payment by cashier's check or wire transfer in
the total amount for the exercise equal to the product of (a) the number of
Warrant Securities to be purchased as specified in such election; and (b) the

certificates for securities, properties or rights underlying this Warrant shall
be made forthwith (and in any event within five (5) business days thereafter)
without charge to the Holder including, without limitation, any tax that may be
payable in respect to the issuance thereof, and such certificates shall be
issued in such names as may be directed by the Holder; provided, however, that

surrender to the Company of this Warrant, with the form of election to purchase
attached hereto duly executed, and accompanied by payment of the purchase price.

3. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS. The Company warrants that if the Company, at
any time, proposes to register any of its securities under the Act, pursuant to
and applicable registration statement, it will each such time give written
notice to Holder, or its permitted assigns, of its intention so to do. Upon the
written request of Holder, or permitted assigns, given within 30 days after
receipt of any such notice, the Company will use its best efforts to cause all
shares underlying the exercise of such warrants to be registered under the Act
(with the securities which the Company at the time propose to register);
provided, however, that the Company may, as a condition precedent to its
effecting such registration, require each Holder to agree with the Company and
the managing underwriter or underwriters of the offering to be made by the
Company in connection with such registration that such Holder will not sell any
securities of the same class or convertible into the same class as those
registered by the Company (including any class into which the securities
registered by the Company are convertible) for such reasonable period after such
registration becomes effective (not exceeding 180 days) as shall then be
specified in writing by such underwriter or underwriters if in the opinion of
such underwriter or underwriters the Company's offering would be materially
adversely effected in the absence of such an agreement. All expenses incurred by
the Company in complying by this Section, including without limitation all
registration and filing fees, listing fees, printing expenses, fees and
disbursements of all independent accountants, or counsel for the Company and the
expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration
and the expenses of complying with the securities or blue sky laws of any
jurisdiction shall be paid by the Company.

4. NO REQUIREMENT TO EXERCISE. Nothing contained in this Warrant shall be
construed as requiring the Holder to exercise this Warrant prior to or in
connection with the effectiveness of a registration statement.

5. NO STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS. Unless and until this Warrant is exercised, this
Warrant shall not entitle the Holder hereof to any voting rights or other rights
as a stockholder of the Company, or to any other rights whatsoever except the
rights herein expressed, and, no dividends shall be payable or accrue in respect
of this Warrant.

6. EXCHANGE. This Warrant is exchangeable upon the surrender hereof by the
Holder to the Company for new warrants of like tenor representing in the
aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Securities purchasable
hereunder, each of such new warrants to represent the right to purchase such
number of Warrant Securities as shall be designated by the Holder at the time of
such surrender.

         Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it
of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant, and in the case
of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory
to it and reimbursement to the Company of all reasonable expenses incidental
thereto, and upon surrender and cancellation hereof, if mutilated, the Company
will make and deliver a new warrant of like tenor and amount, in lieu hereof.

EXHIBIT 10.3

                                    GUARANTY

          THIS GUARANTY ("Guaranty") is made as of July 6, 2001, by Silvano
DiGenova ("Guarantor") in favor of Superior Galleries, Inc., a California
Corporation, ("Creditor") with reference to the following facts, which are a
material part to of this Guaranty:

                                    RECITALS:

         A. Pursuant to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement of even date
executed by Debtor and Creditor ("APA"), Tangible Acquisition II Corporation,
("Debtor") has agreed to purchase certain assets. Pursuant to the APA, Creditor
has agreed to finance a portion of the Purchase Price in the amount of SEVEN
HUNDRED ONE THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($701,000.00).

         B. Pursuant to the APA and that certain Promissory Note of even date
("Note"), the Debtor has agreed to repay the financed amount of SEVEN HUNDRED
ONE THOUSAND AND NO/l00 DOLLARS ($701,000.00) pursuant to the terms and
conditions set forth in the Note;

         C. Creditor is unwilling to finance a portion of the Purchase Price
without this Guaranty.

         D. Pursuant to the APA, Creditor has agreed to provide Debtor with a
series of loans for the purpose of making loan advances to consignors for
property consigned for auction in an amount not to exceed THREE MILLION AND
NO/l00 DOLLARS ($3,000,000.00) (the "Consignment Advance Loan and Security
Agreement").

         E. Creditor is unwilling to make such loan advances under the
Consignment Advance Loan and Security Agreement without this Guaranty.

         THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and in order to induce
Creditor to enter into the APA and to finance a portion of the Purchase Price
and to make a series of loan advances under the Consignment Advance Loan and
Security Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and sufficiency of which Guarantor acknowledges, Guarantor hereby represents,
warrants, covenants, agrees and guarantees as follows:

         1. GUARANTY OF PAYMENT. Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally
guarantees and promises to pay to Lender, on order, on demand in lawful money of
the United States of America, any and all Guaranteed Obligations when notified
in accordance with the terms hereof that Debtor and Tangible Asset Galleries,
Inc., the corporate guarantor of Debtor, are in default of any agreements or
obligations to Creditor and have not made timely payment to Creditor of any
amounts due Creditor under the Guaranteed Obligations. As used in this Guaranty,
"Guaranteed Obligations" means any and all existing and future monetary

GUARANTY - 1

<PAGE>

obligations and liabilities of Debtor to Creditor arising under or related to
the APA, the Note and the Consignment Advance Loan and Security Agreement
whether now due or to become due, matured or unmatured, liquidated or
unliquidated, contingent or noncontingent. Guaranteed Obligations include,
without limitation, (i) the Guaranteed Obligations evidenced by the APA, the
Note and the Consignment Advance Loan and Security Agreement; and (ii) any and
all interest that accrues on all or part of such Guaranteed Obligations, which
interest shall accrue against Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the
Guaranteed Obligations notwithstanding the filing of any petition in bankruptcy
by or against Debtor. This Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment and not of
collection and the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty are direct and
primary.

         2. INDEPENDENT OBLIGATIONS. Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty
are independent of the obligations of Debtor, any other guarantor or any other
person, and Creditor may enforce any of its rights under this Guaranty
independently of any other right or remedy that Creditor may have for any
Guaranteed Obligations or any security or other guaranty for any Guaranteed
Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Creditor may
bring a separate action against Guarantor without first proceeding against
Debtor, any other guarantor or any other person, or any security held by
Creditor, and regardless of whether Debtor or any other guarantor or any other
person is joined in any such action. Creditor's rights under this Guaranty shall
not be exhausted by any action taken by Creditor until all of the Guaranteed
Obligations have been fully paid and performed. Guarantor shall remain liable
for the Guaranteed Obligations even if any portion of them becomes uncollectible
by operation of law, unless a court of law determines such amounts are not fully
earned. If Creditor is required to restore or return any amount at any time paid
for any Guaranteed Obligations upon the Bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization
of Debtor, any other guarantor or any other person, or otherwise, the liability
of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be reinstated and revived, and the rights
of Creditor shall continue, with respect to such amounts, all as though such
amount had not been paid.

         3. AUTHORITY TO MODIFY GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS. Guarantor authorizes
Creditor, at any time and from time to time without notice and without affecting
the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty, to:

                   (a) alter the terms of all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations and any security and guaranties for them, including, without
limitation, modification of times for payment and rates of interest;

                   (b) accept new or additional instruments, documents,
agreements, security or guaranties in connection with all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations;

                   (c) accept partial payments on any Guaranteed Obligations;

                   (d) waive, release, reconvey, terminate, abandon,
subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer, compound, compromise, liquidate and
enforce all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations and any security or
guaranties for them and apply any such security and direct the order or manner

GUARANTY -2

<PAGE>

of its sale (and bid and purchase at any such sale), as Creditor in its
discretion may determine;

                   (e) release Debtor, any guarantor or any other person from
any personal liability with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed
Obligations; and

                   (f) assign or otherwise transfer this Guaranty in whole or in
part.

          4. WAIVERS.

                   (a) Guarantor waives any and all rights or defenses arising
by reason of:

                            (i) the absence, impairment or loss of any right of
reimbursement, contribution or subrogation, or any other right or remedy of
Guarantor against Debtor or any other guarantor or person, or with respect to
any security interest or other support for the Guaranteed Obligations owed to
Creditor by Debtor,

                            (ii) any disability or other defense of Debtor or
the partial or complete cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of
Debtor for the Guaranteed Obligations for any reason other than payment in full
and final satisfaction,

                            (iii) the application by Debtor of the proceeds of
any of the Guaranteed Obligations for purposes other than the purposes
represented by Debtor to Creditor or intended or understood by Creditor,

                            (iv) any act or omission by Creditor which directly
or indirectly results in or aids the discharge of Debtor or any of the
Guaranteed Obligations by operation of law or otherwise,

                            (v) the omission of any demand, presentment, protest
or notice of any kind, including without limitation notice of the existence,
creation, incurring, modification, substitution or renewal of any new or
additional Guaranteed Obligations or of any action or non-action on the part of
Debtor, Creditor or any other person in connection with any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, or

                            (vi) any exchange, release, loss, damage, impairment
or non-perfection of any security or support for the Guaranteed Obligations, or
any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the terms of
any security agreement, other support or any other guaranty, for all or any of
the Guaranteed Obligations.

                   (b) Guarantor waives all rights to require Creditor to (i)
seek payment of the Guaranteed Obligations from Debtor, any other guarantor or
person, or from any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations, before
collecting the Guaranteed Obligations from Guarantor, or (ii) enforce any remedy
which Creditor now has or hereafter may have against Debtor, any other guarantor
or person.

GUARANTY -3

<PAGE>

                   (c) Guarantor waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty.
Without limiting the generality of the waivers contained in this Guaranty,
Guarantor waives all rights, defenses and other benefits under the following
statutes, judicial decisions applying these statutes, and further waives all
equivalent legal rules in any form in all applicable jurisdictions: California
Civil Code Sections 2787 through 2855. Guarantor acknowledges that Creditor is
relying on all of the waivers contained throughout this Guaranty in creating and
continuing the Guaranteed Obligations, and that these waivers are a material
part of the consideration to Creditor for creating and continuing the Guaranteed
Obligations.

         5. RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. Guarantor represents and warrants to
Creditor that: (a) Guarantor has received copies of the APA, the Note and the
Consignment Advance Loan and Security Agreement, and is familiar with and fully
understands all of their terms and conditions; (b) Creditor has not made any
representations or warranties to Guarantor regarding the creditworthiness of
Debtor or the prospects of repayment from sources other than Debtor; (c) this
Guaranty is executed at the request of Debtor; (d) Guarantor has established
adequate means of obtaining from Debtor on a continuing basis financial and
other information pertaining to the business of Debtor; and (e) Guarantor
assumes full responsibility for keeping fully informed with respect to the
ownership, business, operation, condition and assets of Debtor. Guarantor agrees
that Creditor shall have no duty to disclose or report to Guarantor any
information now or hereafter known to Creditor relating to the ownership,
business, operation, condition or assets of Debtor.

         6. SUBORDINATION. Until all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been
paid in full, Guarantor agrees that all existing and future debts, obligations
and liabilities of Debtor to Guarantor (collectively referred to as
"Subordinated Debt") shall be and hereby are expressly subordinated to the
Guaranteed Obligations, and the right of payment of the Subordinated Debt is
expressly deferred to the prior payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.
For purposes of this Article 6, any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be
deemed paid in full until it has been paid in full in U.S. Dollars.

                   6.1 Should Guarantor receive any payment or distribution of
any kind in conflict with this Subordination Article 6, Guarantor shall hold
such funds or property as trustee for Creditor, and shall pay or transfer to
Creditor all such funds or property promptly upon receipt on account of the
Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the
liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

                   6.2 Guarantor authorizes and directs Debtor to take all
necessary or appropriate action to effectuate and maintain the subordination
provided in this Guaranty.

                   6.3 No right of Creditor to enforce the subordination in this
Guaranty shall at any time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or
failure to act by Debtor, Creditor or any other person or by any noncompliance
by the Debtor, Creditor or any other person with the terms, provisions and
covenants of this Guaranty, the APA, the Note or the Consignment Advance Loan
and Security Agreement regardless of any knowledge of such acts, failures to
act, or non-compliance that Creditor may have or be otherwise charged with.

GUARANTY -4

<PAGE>

                   6.4 Nothing express or implied in this Article 6 shall give
any person other than Debtor, Creditor and Guarantor any benefit or any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under this Article 6.

                   6.5 If Guarantor institutes or participates in any suit,
action or proceeding against Debtor in violation of the terms of Guarantor's
subordination, Debtor may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea this
subordination, and Creditor is irrevocably authorized to intervene and to
interpose such defense or plea in its name or in Debtor's name.

material respects with all laws, regulations and requirements applicable to its
business and has obtained all authorizations, consents, approvals, orders,
