Ordering FAQ

Q. I'd like to order more than one of an item listed, but there's no place to enter the quantity on the order form. How can I do it?

Load the item into the shopping cart, as described above, then adjust the quantity in the shopping cart interface. All items are subject to availability, of course. We normally have multiples of book and supply items, as well as most state quarters, silver eagles, proof sets and mint sets. Only one each of most other items listed is available.

Q. Which Checkout option should I use?

Choose among the five checkout options depending on how you wish to pay for your order and whether or not you've ordered from us previously.  To pay through PayPal or Google Checkout, click the corresponding button.  Otherwise:
  1. If you've ordered from us previously, use the "Repeat Customer Express Checkout" option, unless your address has changed or you'd like the order charged to a credit card that you haven't used with us previously.  All customer info is stored in encrypted form with strict physical and network security safeguards.
  2. Use "Credit Card - Secure Online Order" on the secure server to safely provide credit card account info online. Checkout is handled by a secure web server. Your credit card number and other personal info is encrypted for safe transmission.
  3. Use the third option to pay by check or money.  We will confirm your order by e-mail, and your payment should be sent within 48 hours of confirmation, unless other arrangements have been made in advance.

Q. Which credit cards do you accept?

We are able to process Visa and MasterCard transactions directly.  You may charge orders to your Discover or American Express card through PayPal or Google Checkout.

Q. How are orders shipped, and how long will it take until I receive mine?

We ordinarily ship by U.S. mail. Orders charged to a credit card or paid through PayPal or Google Checkout are normally mailed the first or second business day (including Saturdays) after they're placed. Payment by money order or cashier's check normally gets merchandise shipped the first business day after receipt. We may allow 5-7 business days for personal checks to clear.
 
Priority mail is normally delivered in 2-3 business days. Other types of mail may take a week or more to be delivered. International orders are shipped by air mail and are often delivered in 10 days or less.

Q. Is it possible for my order to be shipped to an address that is not my credit card billing address?

If you would like to have merchandise sent somewhere other than the billing address for the credit card, please Contact Us before placing your order.

Q. I'm looking for some coins that aren't listed on your web site. Do you accept want lists?

Absolutely! Please feel free to e-mail your want list at any time using the form on our contact page. Be sure to indicate the range of grades and/or prices that are acceptable.

Q. I'm under the age of 18. Can I still place an order?

Orders from young collectors are welcome. If you're under the age of 18, you must get permission from a parent or legal guardian before placing your order. Make sure he or she is willing and able to pay for the amount of your purchase when your e-mail confirmation message arrives.
