OUR GUARANTEE
We unconditionally guarantee the authenticity of all our coins. Furthermore, you may return a coin for any reason within 10 days, providing that you first contact us and ship the piece back fully insured. Upon receipt of the returned merchandise and providing it is in the same condition as originally sent out, we will issue a refund, minus any shipping charges.
AVAILABILITY
Please note that while we strive to keep the website current there may be instances in which a coin has already been sold. Therefore, when placing an order, please be aware that all coins are offered subject to prior sale and no order is valid until confirmed by us in writing and accompanied by a formal invoice.
COIN GRADING
Although we do our best to grade appropriately, grading is a subjective process and therefore is simply an opinion. We will not guarantee coins for a specific grade, either stated or implied.
NGC ENCAPSULATED COINS
Many of our coins are sold encapsulated in NGC holders. Such coins have been evaluated, graded and encapsulated by NGC Ancients. This is a valuable service because it allows for the coin to be protected and presented in a very attractive way, but most importantly NGC Ancients does not encapsulate any coins that in their opinion are fakes, of uncertain authenticity or have been repaired. For collectors who might not like encapsulated coins, please be aware that the NGC holders can be opened and the coin safely removed. If you purchase a coin and wish to have it removed from its holder we are willing to do this, however, kindly note that the coin then cannot be returned for any reason – thanks for your understanding.
PLACING YOUR ORDER
If you wish to place an order please use our cart system and indicate the form of payment you would like to use (at this point you do not need to enter any credit card information). This will send your order to us and we will quickly respond, confirming availability. At that time we will provide you with a formal invoice and, if appropriate, a link to our payment portal where you can complete the order by using a credit card.
PAYMENT PORTAL FOR CREDIT CARD PURCHASES
We now employ a dedicated payment portal that allows you to pay by credit card directly to our Merchant Services. Once your order is confirmed, you will receive a link where you can enter your credit card information and complete the order.
PAYMENT TYPES
Title does not pass until payment is made in full. Payment must be received within 7 days of the sale date. In the United States payment may be made by bank wire, money order or personal check drawn on a US bank. CREDIT CARDS (VISA, MC, AM EX) are accepted in most cases but an additional 4% service charge will be added. Payments from overseas (all foreign countries including Canada) may be made by bank wire or credit card (credit cards only for amounts under $ 500). Please be aware that in order to comply with our Merchant Services recommendations we may require additional documentation from you prior to processing credit card charges. We reserve the right to refuse any credit card payments. We DO NOT accept Paypal.
SALES TAX
New York sales tax will apply to all merchandise delivered within New York State. If you provide a valid resale certificate we will refund the sales tax.
SHIPPING CHARGES FOR COINS
United States: $ 45 for EXPRESS MAIL INSURED (this will deliver in 1-2 days within the US).
Foreign, including Canada: $ 120 via Fed Ex or USPS Global Express Mail which is fully trackable. For coins less than $ 500 I will consider shipping via registered mail ($ 30) however the client must understand that this is no longer readily trackable in real time and provides minimum indemnity if lost.
Please NOTE: All goods shipped overseas will be declared at full value and it is the responsibility of the buyer to comply with all customs regulations/taxes in their country.
SHIPPING CHARGES FOR LARGER ITEMS
For larger items we will ship the most reasonable way possible. Please inquire before placing an order as to the cost as it will vary based on place of delivery.
HANDLING TIME
We do our best to ship an item within two days of receiving and clearing payment. In some instances, when we are traveling away from the office, there may be slight delays and we will inform you if this is the case.
