BRITISH COINS
What follows is a basic offering suitable for the teacher or historian. I hope to expand this
page as I catch up with my writing obligations. If you are an advanced collector feel free to
write with a more detailed want list.
This list was posted in June 2009. As most of these are permanently in stock, orders from
this page are likely to be fillable even a year after posting. Nevertheless, it doesn't hurt
to write to confirm availability.
Also I never turn up at a coin show without hundreds of British coins. See LATEST UPDATES
for my show schedule. In fact many of the coins lised below at $1 to $2 may be found for
under a dollar by sifting through junk boxes at coins shows. If you have the time they really
are fun. $1 to $2 is simply a minimum I charge per coin for mail order transactions.
PHONE HOURS: Usually 3 pm - midnight EST (845) 434-6090, where you will never get a machine.
I am often away, so if I don't answer feel free to send an e-mail. I'll reply when I return.
TERMS: All items guaranteed genuine. 7-day return for any reason. All US orders add $3 P&H.
Foreign orders are welcome and are sent registered air mail at buyer's risk. Please add $12 and
make remittance in US funds drawn on a US bank. Money orders sent 48 hours, personal checks must
clear
