Specific Details Regarding Our Transaction and Statements of FactAUTHENTICITY: I guarantee each coin is in fact genuine as described. If a contrary evaluation is determined by NGC, CNG, or PCGS, within 30 days of purchase, I will refund your purchase price in full when presented with documentation, with the SELLER paying all return shipping.COIN CLEANSING & ATTRIBUTION: Each coin has undergone thorough research and attribution using the most up to date computerized databases and manual texts. A comparative search has been conducted for coins of similar condition recently sold at auction both within the United States and Internationally to establish a baseline price. Soiled coins undergo a mild cleansing with an anti-bacterial soap and final preservation with the most expensive sealant used by the British Museum of Coins (BMC); Renaissance Wax, which is applied with a light cotton buffing cloth. If additional cleansing is necessary, wax is applied using a jewelers polishing tool with a nylon brush to bring out their luster. No harsh chemicals or abrasives are used.STATEMENT OF FACTS: (1.) You will receive the exact coin for which you placed your bid. (2.) I accept PAYPAL only with payment received within five (5) days of completion of our transaction. (3.) If you so choose to void your conditional side of the agreement of the contract, eBay will automatically open an unpaid case against you after four days, seriously jeopardizing your purchasing ability in the future.COMMUNICATIONS: Make absolutely certain that your email address is correct, and that your mailbox is monitored, and that our communications are not located in your Junk Files. If it becomes impossible to communicate with you, then I cannot conduct our transaction. IMAGES, DESCRIPTION, RATIONALE FOR PRICE: If there is an obvious die flaw or problem with the coin’s flan, it will be addressed in the description as well as photographed specifically. All photographs were produced using a 5.1 megapixel Fuji Finepix camera using macro-mode with maximum pixels. The only modification made to each and every photograph uniformly has been to automatically adjust for contrast against a contrasting background, thus returning silver and bronze to their natural state. The coins are clearly described using the most accurate catalog sources available. At times, an unreported variant of a coin may arise, and if so a “V” will be listed following the most accurate cataloged or described coin available. I will have attempt to locate a similar coin which has been offered at auction meeting the similar physical condition, surface die stamp, and overall quality as the basis for an opening bid. I do not search for the most expensive price, but a coin which most closely resembles the coin offered for sale.
