My name is Allan Schein, and I am an author of several award winning Numismatic books. I do my best to give an accurate description of every product offering, its true grade and condition. I am a collector, researcher and Numismatic Literary Guild (NLG) multiple winning author of the Best U.S. Coin Book of 2017, for THE $2.50 & $5 GOLD INDIANS OF BELA LYON PRATT and MEXICAN BEAUTY, UN PESO CABALLITO, the NLG's Best World Coin book of 2015. I am knowledgeable when it comes to understanding and grading coins of these series. However, please determine grade for yourself as grading is an applied Art, not an exact science. If you have any questions, please ask them well before the auction or listing ends so I have time to respond. My photos show the best representation of each coin that I am able. Shipping is always through the US Postal Service, in padded bubble envelopes or priority mail boxes, with additional protection to assure your coins or books arrive safely and undamaged. Recent rate hikes have now taken some of the economy out of shipping, and Ebay also takes a percentage of the overall final auction price with postage, increasing costs a bit. The shipping costs include postage, insurance and my cost of the packaging itself. I do not intend to penalize my buyers by profiting from shipping fees like I have seen some other sellers do. I appreciate your business, consider myself to have the highest integrity and do business fairly. I would appreciate you conducting our business together in a similarly respectful manner. Payment is required upon purchase. My feedback policy is that I leave feedback after receiving it. Once you have received your item and are satisfied with the transaction, kindly leave positive feedback. I will do likewise. Coin must be insured for the full value if return is authorized. If received back damaged and uninsured, no refund will be given. You will own this coin. No returns on books. Returned items must be in their original unopened undamaged holders, no exceptions granted. If the holders have been opened, you own the coins. I have done my best to give an accurate description of each coin, noted the relevant information in my descriptions or on the flips themselves. There should be no reason you have to open them to determine their condition further. This is standard coin industry practice. Removing them can cause the coins to suffer damage through hairlines or worse by handling that did not previously exist, reducing their overall appeal, condition of grade and desirability to another buyer. When raw, I go the extra measure of inserting each one individually in a plastic holder to assure nothing will mark or marr the coin so you receive it in the same condition it was sent to you. I would appreciate the same courtesy and care of handling if for some reason you choose to return the item. ALL RETURNS MUST BE PRE-AUTHORIZED FOR REASONS EXPLAINED. Buyer must fully insure the item and pays all return costs. Thanks for understanding and accepting these purchase conditions.
