  • Payment: We trade in GB Pounds and can accept payment in this currency through cheques and International Money Orders made payable to "David Stuart", bank transfers (details on request), PayPal using our email address for our PayPal account and Western Union Money Transfer. Cash in £UK is fine but at the sender's risk. Orders will be sent out only after receipt of payment. We reserve the right to wait for clearance of cheques for those customers not already known to us.
  • Approval Period: We offer to accept back for a full refund, any items which do not meet our customer's expectations, within ten days of receipt of that item. All material remains the property of ABC Coins & Tokens until payment has cleared, but is the responsibility of the customer from the time of receipt

Worldwide- Insured up to £50.00 = £10.00, insured up to £250.00 = £12.50. Prices will increase with the weight of the package. Please note that these are standard rates and may change subject to the reciprocal insurance arrangements with some countries. If in doubt, please check with us.
  • 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.
