Our 'Terms of Business'

All details of business terms, prices & descriptions of items offered for sale in this online shop are current, subject to change without prior notice & replace any previously advertised details.

Our Guarantee

All items advertised on this website are believed to be genuine, original period pieces, unless explicitly stated otherwise. While I strive for accuracy, mistakes can happen, and occasionally an imitation item might go unnoticed. To ensure your satisfaction, I offer a money-back guarantee on all purchases, subject to the terms outlined below.

  • if you are unhappy with any item purchased, you should contact me by email (Hamish@AncientHistoricCoins.com) within 7 days of receipt of the goods. The item can then be returned to me, provided that it is in the condition as sent, for a full refund of the purchase price. If an item is not notified to me within this time, it will be considered as being sold. I regret that postage costs are not refundable
  • This refund offer does not apply to any goods purchased in error (including errors in translation of the text of this web site to another language), on the behalf of a third party, nor to goods that have been damaged, disassembled or tampered with after purchase.
  • The responsibility lies with the customer to ensure that any goods ordered are allowed to be imported into your country. If an item has to be returned because it cannot be imported to your country, I can offer a refund of the item costs paid, less any return postage & import costs incurred by me.
  • I endeavour to ensure the precision of our item descriptions and conduct thorough research using the best available sources. However, I cannot guarantee their infallible accuracy and shall not be held liable for any errors or omissions.
  • Any returned items paid for via PayPal will be refunded via PayPal.

Acknowledgment and Acceptance of Orders.

No contract will exist between you and me until I have received full payment from you and have dispatched the ordered products. Please note that my initial acknowledgment of your order does not constitute acceptance of that order. You may also receive a payment acknowledgment email from PayPal, this again does not constitute acceptance of that order.

Should we, for any reason, decide not to accept your order we will advise you accordingly and any monies paid will be refunded.

Availability of Goods

This web site is designed to show only items of stock that are still available for sale, but it is still remotely possible that an item could be sold during your visit to the web site. In the unlikely event that an item has been sold by the time that you place your order, I will inform you by return email and provide you with a refund for any monies paid.

Delivery Charges

All orders are subject to a delivery, packing & handling charge. The correct charges will be automatically calculated via my Shopping basket ordering system and are based on the total weight of your order, your location and our normal method of despatch. Please be aware that I reserve the right to alter any miscalculation, plus or minus, and you will be notified prior to shipping of any changes.

Insurance

Although I offer a world wide export scheme with door to door tracking, and trust & rely on the various delivery systems used to work properly, it must be understood that items are sent entirely at the customer's own risk.

I will package the items well to prevent damage, and obtain all relevant despatch documents etc, but in the event of a parcel being lost in transit I will not be liable for such a loss. Insurance, to the limits quoted by the delivery company involved, against loss or damage is included in our quoted delivery prices but offers only minimal cover.

Electronic Disclaimer

Due to the complexities of the electronic world regarding this web shop, I reserve the right to refuse a sale if there has been an electronic failure in the description or pricing of any specific item.
