Code: 052404191061 About Us: Sedwick & Associates, LLC is the world's premier specialist in the colonial coinage of Spanish America, shipwreck coins and artifacts of all nations. In addition to our Online Store, we sell coins and artifacts at various numismatic shows around the nation. Sedwick & Associates, LLC also has the honor of being the only auction company in the world specializing in authentic treasure. Our auction catalogs are accessible on the web and printed in a high-quality format with full-color illustrations for all lots. In the interest of continually updating our venues, we have decided to put a fraction of our inventory and consignments on eBay. Note: The items we are offering on eBay are only a small fraction of our inventory and consignments, which we generally bring to coin shows around the country (Long Beach, Baltimore, New York, Chicago, etc.). Therefore any and all inventory listed on eBay is subject to prior sale, in the rare case that we cannot remove an eBay listing right after an item is sold at a show. We will process any questions and orders during business hours, 9 am to 5 pm Eastern time, Monday through Friday (except government holidays), by email or phone. Terms and Policies: (1) Payment for our eBay items is to be made by PayPal only, and we can only ship to U.S. PayPal-confirmed addresses unless prior approval is given. (2) All shipments are made via the United States Postal Service (USPS), and Buyer pays for all shipping/handling/insurance costs as stated in the listings. (3) Shipments within the USA are insured and have a tracking or delivery confirmation number. Upon request we will provide the tracking number so you can track the status of your delivery (if it goes First Class insured, there is only an insurance number). In the event that you are not present at delivery, the USPS will leave a claim slip and you will need to present this slip at the Post Office to receive the shipment. As these slips are sometimes misplaced, please check with your Post Office first before contacting us about the status of your delivery. No international shipments will be made without prior approval. Shipping may take several days depending your location, and if international shipping is allowed on the listing it could take up 3-4 weeks, overseas shipments are by Registered Mail only, privately insured, with Customs declaration for full value of item(s). As each country has different importation laws, we cannot be responsible for Duty or any other Customs fees, which are the sole responsibility of the Buyer. (4) Combined shipping is available to save costs, but only upon request, so please inquire before buying the items. (5) Shipment to the Buyer will be made within 1 business day after payment has been received by us. (6) By placing an order from us on eBay, you have entered a legally binding contract to purchase the item(s). (7) Sales tax (6% + county surtax, if applicable) must be added to any items mailed to Florida addresses, so please calculate that into your total before you send payment. (8) Returns are granted only in cases of error in the description or dispute of authenticity. Any returned items must be received in the same condition as originally shipped and must be received back to us within 30 days after the buyer receives it. All items are guaranteed authentic.
