We are members of professional numismatic organizations that abide by a Code of Ethics that protects and educates buyers. It is our mission to assist in both buying and selling numismatic items. We do not take advantage of collectors and the code specifically prohibits making huge gains on purchases from non-dealers. It specifies that we sell coins for a fair profit. For more info, the Professional Numismatist Guild has a detailed list of the Code of Ethics. The American Numismatic Association also has a similar code. You should reconsider a purchase from any dealer that doesn't abide by this code. We also believe that a person that earns their living selling coins should give an honest opinion as to the grade of the coin, if raw, without making excuses about grading being subjective. There is consistency when using established grading standards. Anyone that says otherwise doesn't deserve your business.

We have over 25 years experience in the numismatic and collectibles field. I have earned the distinction of Numismatic Scholar from the American Numismatic Association, having graduated from Grading US Coins with High Honors. I believe that my reputation is everything, honesty, integrity, and fairness are my characteristics. You will always receive an honest assessment from me and I will purchase many collections outright for more than an inexperienced person could sell it themselves for.

Due to eBay policy, electronic payments are the only payments that can be mentioned in listings. We always try to please our customers, so please contact us for more information if you would like to discuss other payment arrangements or layaway programs.

We generally ship within 24 hours of receipt of payment. Please understand that we are human. I am partially disabled due to chronic pain, so sometimes shipping is delayed a few days. We ship Internationally, but ask that International Buyers contact us regarding the shipment of coins, currency, bullion, stamps, and other items of intrinsic value before making your purchase. Many countries have limitations or restrictions on what can be imported. We will not circumvent your country's customs laws, so please don't ask.

We offer a ten day no questions asked return privilege on all coins, both raw and certified. Unlike other sellers that refuse to accept a return on certified coins, using the excuse that the coin has been independently graded, or require restocking fees as much as 15%, we believe that you can't adequately view a three dimensional coin from a two dimensional photo. Photography is also not perfect in capturing the true beauty and flaws in a coin. I have purchased many coins where I have been pleasantly surprised and just as many where I have been disappointed. We offer a full refund for your purchase price less S&H paid. On purchases where we offered Free Shipping, we do deduct our costs from the refund.

The quality of coins has suffered with the changes eBay has made over the last year. eBay Trust & Safety does not do an adequate job to protect the coin category, so you must educate yourself. We can advise you on books and guides to read so that you can grade coins for yourself and know that you are paying a fair price for an accurately graded coin. Avoid raw coins on eBay unless the seller offers a full return privilege or discloses why the coin is raw. We guarantee the grade on any raw coin we sell. I challenge any other seller to do so. Typically, a raw coin that we sell is for the collector completing a book or doesn't have large spreads between grades. On coins that we don't believe will grade, we will tell you why. It doesn't mean the coin is not high end, it just means that the coin has a problem that will no grade the coin. As PCGS does not give Net Grade Details on coins, we will inform you of the grade and the coin will be priced accordingly.

There are many sellers on eBay that misrepresent numismatic type gold on eBay. They hype the investment potential, beware, these people are not financial planners, they have limited experience in the market and prey on the novice buyers by selling misrepresented NNC, NTC, and other unapproved slabbed gold and stating that they are selling at a fraction of its value. Ask Yourself Why? Why would they sell the coins at a fraction of their value? Simple answer, the coins are worth far less than what they are selling them for. One example of a seller advertising NNC and NTC MS66 Saints for $1800 and PCGS MS65 Saints for $1900. The novice buyer thinks they are getting a great deal. In reality, the NTC or NNC coin is a commercial uncirculated coin at best, worth $1100. I've posed the question to these sellers, if your mother was investing her retirement savings in these coins, how would you feel? They have no comment. Educate yourself, we are happy to help whether you buy from us or not
