Regarding
Proof & Mint Set Packaging
"We
are selling coins, not packaging."
Condition: All
outer boxes/envelopes are in "used" condition and will show
evidence of handling and wear. None of these paper-thin wrapper imperfections
affect the coins inside.
No
Cherry-Picking: We do not favor one buyer over another by selecting
"perfect" wrappers. If you require mint-fresh paper coverings, we
cannot service your order.
The Hard
Plastic Cases: These are subject to small stress fractures from
the original minting process or natural aging.
Condition,
Toning & Oxidation
A Note
from the 1956 Mint Superintendent (Mrs. Rae V. Biester):
"Sooner
or later your Proof Coins may show evidence of oxidation (tarnish or
discoloration)... we cannot assume responsibility for oxidation. Please do not
ask us to make exchanges or adjustments."
Our
Position: If the Mint Superintendent issued this warning in 1956, imagine
the natural toning that occurs over 60+ years. Metal interacts with air and
light from the moment it is struck. We do not expect these coins to look as
they did the day they were born, and we hope you don't either. The picture
is the grade.
Grading
& Authenticity
Authenticity: All
coins are guaranteed genuine for life.
Grading
is Opinion: We place zero value on third-party grading opinions
(slabs) except for authenticity.
The
Picture is the Grade: We spend thousands of dollars weekly on
high-resolution photography. The picture of the coin IS the
grade. Please use the enlargement tool to make your own assessment.
Terminology: * High
Grade: Top 20% of surviving population.
Better
Grade: Top 50% of surviving population.
The
Reality of "Cleaned" Coins
"Cleaning
is always a matter of degree." In our 55+ years, we have found that
almost every coin not in a sealed mint holder has been "cleaned" in
some way—whether by a soft cloth, a pocket, or professional conservation.
Our
View: We buy and sell coins; we leave "conserving" to the
experts.
Honesty: If
you ask us if a coin has been cleaned, we will give you our honest opinion on
its visibility and its likelihood of passing a grading service.
Returns
& Refunds
We offer
a 30-day unconditional return policy with no restocking fee.
Due
Diligence: Please examine photos closely and ask questions before paying
to avoid unnecessary returns.
Cost: The
buyer pays for transportation costs unless there is a material mistake in the
provided picture.
"Dumb
questions are better than stupid mistakes." (Note: We do charge
for marital counseling!)
