Shipping & Returns Policy
Last Updated: 7/30/2026
1. Shipping Policy
Flat Rate Shipping (US Only)
We offer a flat fee of $10.00 for shipping on most orders within the United States. We currently do not offer international shipping.
Exceptions for High-Value Items
For exceptionally rare or high-value coins, standard shipping may not provide adequate insurance coverage. In these cases, the shipping cost will be clearly listed on the product page before you add the item to your cart.
No Surprise Fees
We hate hidden charges as much as you do. The shipping price you see at checkout is the final price. If a coin requires special handling, express delivery, or increased insurance, we will disclose it upfront.
Processing Time
Please allow 1–2 business days for us to carefully package your order. All coins are securely packaged to ensure they survive the journey in the exact condition they left our shop.
2. Return Policy
Because we deal in historical artifacts and rare collectibles, we handle returns differently depending on the type of item. We want you to be happy with your purchase, but we must also protect the integrity of these historical pieces.
For Graded Coins (Slabbed/Certified):
We offer a 14-day return policy on graded coins, provided the coin and its certified slab (holder) are returned in the exact same condition as when we shipped them.
-
Condition Requirement: The slab must have no scratches, cracks, chips, or damage of any kind.
-
Return Shipping: The buyer is responsible for the cost of return shipping, including full insurance coverage for the item's value during transit.
-
Processing: Once we receive the returned package, please allow 3–5 business days for our team to inspect the item and verify its condition. After inspection, we will process your refund to the original payment method.
For Raw (Un-Graded) Coins:
We take great care in selecting and photographing our raw coins so you know exactly what you are getting.
-
Please Note: Raw coins that have been removed from their original plastic flips or 2x2 cardboard holders cannot be accepted for return.
-
Once the protective packaging is opened or altered, we can no longer guarantee the coin's integrity or verify that it hasn't been handled or damaged. Because we are a physical shop that restores antiques, we inspect every return with a craftsman's eye, and we cannot resell a coin that has been removed from its holder.
Damaged or Lost in Transit
If your package arrives visibly damaged or if the shipping insurance is needed, please contact us immediately. Do not discard any packaging. We will work with the shipping carrier to resolve the issue and ensure you are not left at a loss.
3. The "In-Person" Advantage
Buy Online, Pay in Store
Remember, if you are local to Townsend, MA, you can always choose our "In-Person Pickup" option at checkout. This allows you to inspect the coin in our retail location before completing your payment—eliminating the need for returns altogether.
