Please note if eBay lists at the top of the page that I am away, I will only be able to ship coins once I return, I have to travel quite a bit for work. I always list the date of the return so that you can decide to buy and wait or buy a different coin. Thank you for your understanding.Shipping by US Postal Services in the US is $2.45, overseas $3.25 uninsured, not tracked and not registered. If you win and would like your item to be sent either registered or insured, please contact me before paying. I combine on multiple wins when paid in single transaction - usually it is 35 cents per additional coin for domestic shipping and 70 cents for international, reasonably capped for weight and shipping method, heavier items will be more.Be advised that eBay charges up to 30% of the amount you pay to seller.I am a coin collector getting rid of some of the duplicates or items I bought over years and no longer need. You can find some of my coins here http://omnicoin.com/collection/sandy3075Each coin is individually scanned, I do not use stock pictures. I ship in plain white envelops and use bio-degradable materials when possible to limit environmental footprint. No forwarding services please without pre-approval and additional cost for registered shipping, otherwise all orders to the forwarding services will be canceled.Returns are accepted if I send you the wrong item. Always bid on the item that is pictured, description sometimes gets copied from the other coins when I list.
