Description

PLEASE READ THE
ENTIRE
ITEM DESCRIPTION, INCLUDING THE FINE PRINT BELOW
BEFORE
PLACING A BID.
Welcome to the disbursement of my 45-year plus (lifelong) collection of coins and banknotes. I will be listing multiple items weekly as time allows. Please read the entire item description; if you have questions, please ask!
Yes, I am happy to combine shipping for multiple items – read the fine print below for limitations
. While my "fine print" may at first glance appear abrupt or brusque, I am serious about providing excellent service, and the opportunity to bid on coins and banknotes with a 99 cent start price and no reserve. No games, clear pictures, and an upfront approach to my shipping charges and how the items will be packaged.
1970 TUNISIA 1 DINAR, KM-302, SILVER. A NICE BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED EXAMPLE. P
ART OF THE UNITED NATIONS FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION (FAO) COIN PROGRAM.
FAO COINS ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY COLLECTIBLE. THERE ARE REGISTRY SETS ON PCGS AND NGC, AND SOME OF THESE COINS ARE LOW MINTAGE AND SCARCE TO RARE. KRAUSE VALUES ARE VERY OFTEN WOEFULLY OUT OF DATE (LOW) ON THESE.
AS BOUGHT / COLLECTED;
S
EE ALL IMAGES, BID ACCORDINGLY!
EXPECT SNIPING!!!
NO INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING, US ADDRESS BUYERS ONLY!
A WORD ABOUT KRAUSE VALUES AND EXCERPTS FROM KRAUSE: THE LAST DIGITAL VERSION OF KRAUSE CAME OUT IN 2019. THE PRICES ARE WOEFULLY OUT OF DATE, ESPECIALLY SINCE COVID. I PUT KRAUSE EXCERPTS WITH EVERY LISTING I CAN FOR BIDDERS TO BE ABLE TO VERIFY THE ATTRIBUTION OF COINS AND TO MAKE EDUCATED / INFORMED DECISIONS ON BIDDING BASED ON RELATIVE RARITY. THE PRICE GUIDE IS A STARTING POINT, AND KRAUSE DOES NOT TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION MOVEMENTS IN BULLION PRICES OR THE POPULARITY OF CERTAIN TOPICS OR COUNTRIES.
SHIPPING IS VIA USPS GROUND ADVANTAGE MAIL (WITH TRACKING AND INSURANCE) IN A PADDED ENVELOPE WITH THE COIN IN A FLIP BETWEEN TWO CARDBOARD STIFFENERS. SHIPPING COSTS ARE CALCULATED BY EBAY BASED ON YOUR ZIPCODE. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS, PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT BELOW - IT ADDRESSES COMBINED SHIPPING.
NO, I DO NOT (AND WILL NOT) SHIP USING EBAY STANDARD ENVELOPE SHIPPING - PLEASE DO NOT ASK. THE SHIPPING METHOD AND COSTS ARE CLEARLY STATED; IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO PAY THE SHIPPING THAT IS STATED IN MY AUCTIONS, PLEASE KEEP SHOPPING ELSEWHERE.
THE COLD, BOLD, FINE PRINT IN ALL CAPS FOR EASE OF READING FOR THE “SELECTIVELY LITERATE”:
YOU GET EXACTLY WHAT IS PICTURED. I PROVIDE PICTURES OF ALL "RAW" / UNCERTIFIED COINS ON A WHITE PAPER BACKGROUND, SHOWING BOTH SIDES OF THE COIN, WITH ANY ISSUES I AM AWARE OF CLEARLY POINTED OUT IN MY ITEM DESCRIPTIONS. I IMAGE THE COIN IN THE 2X2 (UNLESS IT IS A LARGER COIN AND IS IN A 2 1/2 X 2 1/2 OR LARGER FLIP); IF THE COIN IS IN A CAPSULE, I IMAGE IT BOTH OUT OF THE CAPSULE TO SHOW THE SURFACES OF THE COIN CLEARLY (CAPSULES AND FLIPS CAN HAVE SCRATCHES), AS WELL AS IN THE CAPSULE SO YOU KNOW HOW IT WILL BE HOUSED FOR MAILING.
DO NOT ASK ME TO SHIP INTERNATIONALLY, OR TRY TO PURCHASE MY ITEMS FROM A U.S. BASED ACCOUNT AND THEN RENEGOTIATE INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING.
NO, I DON'T ACCEPT OFFLINE OFFERS TO END AUCTIONS EARLY; I DO NOT AND WILL NOT END AUCTIONS EARLY.
IF YOU SEE SOMETHING YOU LIKE OR ARE INTERESTED IN, BID ON IT.
MAKE SURE YOU REVIEW THE SHIPPING CHARGES AND MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE WITH THEM
BEFORE
BIDDING. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS REGARDING SHIPPING OR COMBINED SHIPPING, THE TIME TO ASK IS
BEFORE
YOU PLACE A BID.
IF YOU DO MAKE A BID AND WANT TO RETRACT IT, READ EBAY’S BID RETRACTION POLICY FOR THEIR FINE PRINT; THERE MAY BE NOTHING YOU
OR I
CAN DO IF THE AUCTION IS TOO CLOSE TO THE TIME IT ENDS.
I TRY TO SHIP ONCE A WEEK ON MONDAYS DUE TO OTHER OBLIGATIONS.
THE SOONER YOU PAY, THE SOONER I SHIP!
IF YOU PAY BY NOON ON THE MONDAY IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE WEEKEND'S AUCTIONS, YOUR ORDER WILL GO OUT ON MONDAY (UNLESS THAT MONDAY IS A HOLIDAY), AND MOST BUYERS HAVE THEIR ITEMS BY THE END OF THE WEEK.
MY AUCTIONS WILL TYPICALLY CLOSE ON FRIDAYS, SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS
. I WILL COMBINE SHIPPING FOR ITEMS ENDING WITHIN THREE CONSECUTIVE DAYS OF EACH OTHER (EXAMPLE - FRIDAY THE 13TH, SATURDAY THE 14TH AND SUNDAY THE 15TH)
. I WILL NOT LEAVE INVOICES OPEN INDEFINITELY OR CARRY ITEMS FROM WEEK TO WEEK. IF YOU’RE BIDDING ON ITEMS FOR FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND THE CONSECUTIVE, IMMEDIATE NEXT SUNDAY, YES, I’LL COMBINE SHIPPING.
I'VE HAD MULTIPLE QUESTIONS REGARDING
SHIPPING COSTS AND COMBINED SHIPPING
, SO I'LL TRY TO ADDRESS SOME OF THAT HERE:
YES, I AM HAPPY TO COMBINE MULTIPLE ITEMS IN ONE SHIPMENT. THE MOST YOU WILL PAY FOR SHIPPING THIS WEEK - EVEN IF YOU GET REALLY HAPPY AND WIN EVERYTHING I LIST FOR THE WEEK - WILL BE .40 FOR A SMALL FLAT RATE BOX. I PAY FOR ANY INSURANCE COVERAGE OVER THE 0 PROVIDED BY THE POST OFFICE WITH THE FLAT RATE BOX. IF IT WON'T ALL FIT IN A SMALL FLAT RATE BOX, I PAY THE DIFFERENCE FOR THE MEDIUM BOX.
I CAN TYPICALLY FIT
EIGHT
(8) SLABS INTO A USPS PRIORITY SMALL MAIL FLAT RATE BOX FOR THE STATED RATE FOR 1 (ONE) FLAT RATE SHIPPING CHARGE. THE MOST I'VE HAD TO CHARGE ANYONE WAS THE CURRENT RATE FOR A MEDIUM FLAT RATE BOX, AND THAT BIDDER WON A BIG OLD HEALTHY PILE OF MY ITEMS. I'LL GO AHEAD AND PUT IT OUT THERE NOW: I HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT HOW TO GET THE POST OFFICE TO GIVE ME FREE SHIPPING, AND NO, I CAN'T JUST EAT THE SHIPPING COSTS; IF YOU EXPECT ME TO,
DON'T BID
. IT'S AS PLAIN AS THAT. THERE ARE OBVIOUSLY PLENTY OF PEOPLE HAPPY TO BID ON MY AUCTIONS AND PAY FOR SHIPPING; I AIN'T AMAZON OR WAL-MART, AND NO, I CAN'T AFFORD TO JUST EAT THE SHIPPING. THE
MOST
ANYONE WILL HAVE TO PAY ON
ANY
OF MY AUCTIONS WILL BE THE CURRENT COST FOR A MEDIUM FLAT RATE BOX (RATES CHANGE, SO GO TO USPS.COM TO CONFIRM, OR ASK BEFORE YOU BID HOW MUCH THE CURRENT SHIPPING RATES ARE FOR A USPS FLAT RATE BOX), AND I WILL SEND THE INVOICE WITH AN EXPLANATION OF WHY BASED ON THE QUANTITY OF ITEMS WON. IF SOMEONE WANTS TO GET ALL FROGGY AND BUY ENOUGH IN ONE WEEK THAT IT REQUIRES MORE THAN A MEDIUM FLAT RATE BOX WILL HOLD, SURE, I'LL PAY THE DIFFERENCE AND COVER IT.
I'VE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THE CALCULATED COSTS FOR SHIPPING RAW / 2X2 COINS. I KNOW THAT FOLKS ARE ON A BUDGET (I AM TOO), BUT AGAIN, I HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT HOW TO GET THE POST OFFICE TO GIVE SHIPPING TO ME FOR FREE. I LET THOSE ITEMS GO OUT IN A PADDED FIRST CLASS ENVELOPE BY WEIGHT. I AM HAPPY TO INVOICE FOR ITEMS AFTER THE AUCTION ENDS, AND I'M HAPPY TO PACKAGE THE ITEM AND WEIGH IT AND CALCULATE THE COST AND INVOICE ACCORDINGLY. IF YOU WANT AN INVOICE AFTER YOU'VE FINISHED BIDDING FOR THE WEEK, PLEASE, SEND ME A REQUEST; I'LL GET THE INVOICES PREPPED AS QUICKLY AS I CAN BEFORE I CRASH SUNDAY NIGHT AFTER ALL AUCTIONS END. I SHIP EVERYTHING WITH TRACKING AND INSURANCE; NO, I WON'T JUST PUT THAT OR COIN IN AN ENVELOPE AND "JUST MAIL IT".
EVERYTHING GOES OUT WITH TRACKING AND INSURANCE
.
PLEASE, IF SHIPPING COSTS ARE A CONCERN, I AM NOT TWISTING YOUR ARM TO BID ON MY ITEMS. GO FIND AN ITEM WITH FREE SHIPPING. I CLEARLY STATE HOW MY ITEMS ARE PACKAGED AND SHIPPED (
EVERYTHING
I SELL GOES WITH TRACKING AND INSURANCE FOLKS - IT KEEPS EVERYONE HONEST), AND I PUT THE SHIPPING COSTS IN MY AUCTIONS. I COMBINE SHIPPING TO GET TO THE LOWEST SHIPPING COSTS FOR BUYERS -
WITH TRACKING AND INSURANCE
. COMBINED SHIPPING IS CALCULATED BY WEIGHT - I WEIGH THE PACKAGE, ENTER IT INTO THE EBAY CALCULATOR WITH THE ZIPCODE TO WHERE IT'S GOING, AND GO FROM THERE. PLEASE NOTE: IF MORE THAN 10 COINS ARE WON, EVEN RAW COINS IN 2X2'S, THE PACKAGE IS UPGRADED TO A SMALL FLAT RATE BOX. IF ANY ORDER EXCEEDS 0 WORTH OF ITEMS, ALL YOU PAY FOR IS THE SHIPPING - THE COST OF THE FLAT RATE BOX - I PAY FOR THE INSURANCE, OR, IF APPLICABLE (BASED ON THE VALUE OF THE ORDER), REGISTERED MAIL. I ALSO PAY FOR THE "SIGNATURE REQUIRED" OPTION IF IT'S NECESSARY.
A WORD ABOUT RETURNS:
SURE - I ACCEPT RETURNS. THE
BUYER
IS RESPONSIBLE FOR RETURN SHIPPING CHARGES. ONCE I RECEIVE THE ITEM IN QUESTION AND CONFIRM IT WAS INDEED THE ITEM YOU WERE SOLD AND IT IS RETURNED IN THE SAME CONDITION IT WAS SENT, I WILL GLADLY REFUND YOUR WINNING BID AND THE SHIPPING YOU PAID TO GET THE ITEM TO YOU. AGAIN -
THE BUYER
IS RESPONSIBLE FOR RETURN SHIPPING.
GOOD LUCK ON YOUR BIDS - ON TO THE PARTY!
