To order, or simply to ask me questions, write me, Warren, at

When you write me, please tell me if you are not in the US (it changes shipping costs).
After I confirm I still have the coin, you can pay with Zelle (preferred in the US) or PayPal to my e-mail address or Transferwise (preferred from abroad) and I also accept checks. (I am on Pacific time, so if you are in the east and write me at 8:00 am it is only 5:00 am where I am.)

Shipping in the US is $2 for orders under $25, $3 up to $50, $4 up to $100, and an additional dollar for each hundred thereafter.
Shipping to other countries: Shipping is an additional $3 for orders under $200 and payment must be with PayPal. (Thick coins change an "envelope" into a "small parcel" which costs significantly more in postage. I can mail about three denarius-sized coins as an "envelope", but not large Byzantine bronze or sestertii.) I do not accept orders over $200 from abroad. When you order, please tell me which country you live in and I will get back to you with shipping before you confirm your order.
More detailed terms are here. All coins are guaranteed genuine.
