General information:                                                                                         

I do not use coin grading terms but I provide exact images of each item to help you decide upon the condition yourself.  Please email me if you have any queries or require additional information. 

Post and packing:

I always use a jiffy bag or mail-lite envelope and all items will be well packed.  I try to keep postage and packing charges close to cost price.  I give generous discounts for multiple items.   This is calculated by weight and a number of items may cost the same as or only slightly more than a single item.  I show my normal postage terms below but please email me if you have any queries or special requirements and I will endeavour to accommodate them if this is possible and reasonable.
