Of course, grading is subjective. It is simply an opinion. You know, everyone has one. We grade strictly in accordance with the ANA Grading Standard. Our Chief Grader, Bill, finished in the top of the ANA Summer Seminar Advanced Grading Class. This class is taught by senior graders at PCGS, NGC, and ANACS. He is also an authorized dealer for these grading services.

- Postage – Please bear in mind that our postal charges include actual postage costs, and packaging which is AT LEAST $5 per package. Signature Required and/or Insurance is added on as needed. We do not ship internationally, as we had too many “lost packages”.

Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with the tracking number. Your item will probably take up to five days for delivery. We ship thousands of coins a year, about 2% take up to 3-4 weeks. USPS will NOT update the item location in transit, do not expect them to. If the item is lost in the mail (this happens in less than 1% of shipments), we will contact USPS to get the issue resolved. We abide by the USPS definition for a lost item: ” not delivered within 30 days of shipment”.
