clearance of cheques for those customers not already

accept back for a full refund, any items which do not

- Book Postage: A separate price
will be be quoted for books and heavier items, please
check with us and we will be pleased to assist.
- Grading: Using the British system
of F (Fine), VF (Very Fine), EF (Extremely Fine), UNC
(Uncirculated) etc., we have tried to keep it as simple
as possible by using + and - after the grade to indicate
"better than" or "less than" rather
than "nice or good" and "nearly or
almost". It should be borne in mind, when
considering hammered coins, that the quality of strike
and wear on dies varies greatly resulting in a poorly
struck coin, or a coin struck from worn dies, looking
like a lower grade having been in circulation a only
short time.
