Your Shopping Cart

These apply to all articles purchased from Classical Coins. In placing your order you agree to these terms. Please read and understand them before placing your order.

Classical Coins is a one price store. All articles are offered at a fixed price that is not negotiable. Why bargaining is not allowed

1. Transfer of Ownership and Loss in Transit
Ownership of items purchased from Classical Coins is transferred to Buyer when item is delivered to the shipping agent. Shipping agent's receipt is proof of delivery to shipping agent. Loss in transit is a very rare event, but should this occur Buyer is responsible for securing reimbursement from the shipping agent. If the shipment is not insured, Buyer cannot be reimbursed. Classical Coins is not responsible for loss in transit and will not replace or make refunds for lost items.

2. Warranty and Return Privileges:
All coins and antiquities are carefully examined for authenticity, and unconditionally warranted to be genuine without time limit.

Attribution, condition and other descriptions are the cataloguer's opinion, as attributions and grading standards do evolve. Articles are carefully described to the latest knowledge at the time, however no warranty of attribution or condition can be made.

Coins and antiquities are sold on condition of satisfaction to the purchaser, and may be returned within fourteen days of receipt for a full refund, including taxes but not shipping charges. Books are not sold on approval and are not returnable.

Limitations and Responsibilities:
No article may be returned if it has been altered or damaged in any way. Cleaning a coin, or mounting it in jewelry, are examples of alterations. Coins should always be returned in the original envelope. Purchaser is responsible for cost of shipment and for loss or damage of returned articles in shipment. Articles to be returned should be sent insured for the purchase price.

3. Payment:
Prices are in U.S. Dollars and are net to everyone. Checks or money orders drawn on U.S. banks, and credit cards from U.S. customers, are accepted. Credit cards, and cashier's or bank officer's checks, are not accepted from foreign customers who have not previously established credit with Classical Coins. Contact our office by email for approval if you wish to make such a purchase.

4. Point of Sale
The point of sale for all Internet orders is Goleta, California.

5. Settlement and Billing
Credit card orders will be billed upon generation of invoice. Orders are normally shipped within two days of invoicing. If there is any reason why your order cannot be shipped within 7 days, you will be contacted.

6. California Sales Tax:
8.75% sales tax must be collected on all items delivered within the State of California unless a valid California resale certificate is presented or is in our files. Orders for coins amounting to more than $1,000 are exempted by California law.

7. Shipping Charges:
A shipping charge based on value and shipping method is computed when you place your order. Certain International shipments, shipments for high value items, and orders in which all items cannot be shipped by the same method, may involve additional charges and if so, you will be contacted.

Shipping Method:
Items purchased by U.S. residents will be shipped by insured or registered mail. Coin orders for delivery outside the U.S. can be sent by insured Registered Mail, or by insured Global Express mail if this service is available to that destination. The insurance limit for international coin shipments is $1,000.00. Customs duties and other taxes on shipments outside the United States are Purchaser's responsibility. For more details please see Shipping Information.

8. Surety measures
Transactions with customers who have not previously established credit may be subject to surety measures at the discretion of Classical Coins.

Select Tax Status	*Default: you live in California* and you will be charged 8.75% sales tax. If you live outside California, select "I do not live in California." You will not be charged sales tax. If you live in California but are exempt, select the exempt status. You will not be charged sales tax. If you do not select the correct tax status and are charged sales tax for which you are not liable, a store credit will be issued. It is no longer possible to issue refunds, as the accounting work involved is excessive.
Select Shipping Method	Please read carefully - particularly if you live outside the USA. There are several shipping options, but only one is best for your order. The shopping cart cannot select the correct shipping method for you. Visit the Shipping Information link to review our shipping options before you select your shipping method. *Default:* Insured First Class Mail - for coin orders up to $1,000 sent to U.S. residents only. *Not available for International shipments.* If your order is for more than $1,000.00, or is not for coins, or if your order will be shipped outside the US, this is not the correct choice. *International Shipments: International Air Registered Mail* is the safest, least expensive shipping method for coin orders, and is insured up to $1,000.00. *If you select a method not available* for your shipment, the shipping charge may display as $999.99. This must be corrected, or your order will be delayed while we contact you to correct the problem.
Payment Option	You can pay by Visa, MasterCard, Discover, PayPal or by check (including money orders). If you pay by check, please read the following: The shopping cart will ask you for check routing and account numbers. These are not used, so enter any numbers you like at random. Unfortunately we can't eliminate this nuisance.
