Terms of Sale
  1. Prices are in US dollars.
  2. Check payments must be made in US dollars and payable at a US bank.
  3. Personal checks, cashier's checks and money orders to clear my account before shipping - usually 4 to 5 business days.
  4. All prices are NET - no further discounts.
  5. US cash and Euro cash is also accepted for payment on low priced items, but cash is not encouraged due to risk if lost or stolen in the mails. Please email me for the current exchange rate I will accept.
  6. PayPal payment is also acceptable for payments under $ 500. I can send you an invoice for you to pay.
  7. Please e-mail me to confirm availability and to reserve coin(s) for up to 10 days. All unreserved coins subject to prior sale.
  8. All coins guaranteed genuine unless described as copies, reproductions, or counterfeits. Guarantee void if item(s) removed from holder. Yes, you read me right a forgery is not guaranteed a forgery if removed from holder!
  9. Full 14 day no questions asked return privilege on all individual coins from the day you receive your coin(s). This includes non-certified and certified coins. Note: bulk lots and collections are not returnable due to cherry-picking.
  10. Grading: For US coins I use ANA standards (4th Edition). For World coins I use Krause-Mishler. Please see link for specifics about my thoughts on coin grading.
  11. Massachusetts residents please add 5% sales tax on all orders totaling less than $ 1000.00.
  12. No minimum order.
  13. No Lay-away.
  14. Postage & Insurance: All US orders to add $ 2.00 for regular USPS First Class mail (without insurance). Bulk lots and rolls add additional for postage - see each item or email me. Insurance is optional and additional at standard USPS rates (to $ 50.00 add $ 1.35, from $ 50.01 to $ 100.00 add $ 2.30, above $ 100.00 add $ 2.30 + $ 1.05 for each $ 100.00 of value). All un-insured orders are not my responsibility if lost or stolen in the mail, therefore, insurance is HIGHLY recommended for ALL orders. For insured Registered Mail add $ 12.00 regardless of value - I will make up difference (this is the best deal for purchases valued over $ 700). If unsure of your postage please e-mail me and I will figure.
  15. Postage & Insurance: All international orders to be sent via one of the following three options chosen by the buyer:
    • Regular Air Mail Letter Post: Add $ 4.00 (no insurance and at your risk if lost or stolen);
    • Air Mail Parcel Post with postal insurance. This is the BEST for shipments of large value. It is VERY EXPENSIVE. Usually a minimum of $ 20.00 cost. Please inquire.
    • Registered Air Mail: Add $ 12.00 (safest). Note: USPS insures International registered shipments to a maximum of $ 40.00 indemnity. I am not responsible for shipments sent via registered mail that are valued more than $ 40.00.
  16. All coins sent to Canada must go via Registered Mail per postal regulations. Maximum customs declaration is US $ 30.00 to avoid duty. If you have a US postal box or address in a border state, this is best.
  17. All coins sent to the UK must go via Registered Mail per UK regulations.
  18. Coins not sent to the following countries: PRC, South Korea, Azerbaijan, India
  19. All international shipments sent at buyer's risk (except up to $ 40.00 value if sent via Registered Mail - see above). All customs and duties are the responsibility of the purchaser. Some countries will not allow coins to be imported, it is up to you, the buyer to know your countries regulations. I will not falsify or obfuscate customs form (green form) so don't ask. I've sent coins to over 30 countries.
  20. If you have any question about shipping or shipping charges please e-mail me and I will explain and/or calculate for you.
