Coin trade conditions
I have a long history of successful international coin trades. Please see my references posted HERE. For lots of great rules and information about coin trading, please visit Coin exchange FAQ written by Ioannis Androulakis & Marcel Zumstein.
1.) I mail all coins well packed by regular airmail. I use registered mail after mutual agreement.
2.) You must meet one of the
following criteria:
a) a personal reference to someone on my good trader page
that you have traded with
b) your name listed on someone else's valid good trader page -
www.Numista.com ,
www.colnect.com,
www.worldcoingallery.com
c) if neither of the above then you mail your coins first
3.) How to send your letter with coins?
1. Wrap up coins in plastic or paper (to
avoid glue from tape on coins).
2. Fix them with tape on piece of cardboard.
3. Wrap cardboard with aluminium foil that women are using for cooking (to avoid
metal scan).
4. Put the result into the bubbled envelope (to avoid fingering).
5. Sending with registerd mail (to decrease chances of loosing the mail).
Registered is not something that will bring coins day after
(UPS, DHL etc.) but the one which gives you the number that might
beused for the tracking of your package.
6. Finally, it is a good idea not to be too descriptive when you are required to
attach a customs form listing the contents of a package.
Rather than writing "coins" on a customs form, one collector
have found it quite acceptable to write "hobby supplies".
My SWAPLIST is available on request on my e-mail,
or you can see it here. (some coins may be already swapped, because I swap often)
My favourite numismatic websites with catalogues for coin swaps:
