The Small Print:

All coins, medals and other items I sell are genuine unless I have explicitly described them as otherwise and I guarantee this forever. If I sell you something as genuine that later turns out to be a forgery I will take the item back and refund you in full including all postage costs.

Grading coins is somewhat subjective with increasing numbers of dealers, especially on eBay, avoiding giving a grade at all or describing a coin as “high grade” or similar. You should make you own mind up about the condition of the coin but if you’re new to collecting I would encourage you to take advice. There are a great many groups on social media sites with experienced collectors and dealers posting coins that you can look at which will help you learn to grade coins and feel free to copy any of my images to post on groups to get opinions on the actual coins I’m selling.

I’ve made every effort to provide good quality images of the items I sell but, with coins especially, there’s no substitute for having it in hand to examine it under a lens to assess it. If you buy anything from me and are disappointed when you receive it, for any reason, send it back in the same condition as it was received and I will refund you, minus the cost of postage.
