PAY-PAL & VISA/MASTERCARD ACCEPTED. IMPORTANT: I am normally charged a 3% fee on Paypal payments (4% foreign) BUT if in making the payment you click on “PERSONAL” and then “Payment owed” the fee MAY be reduced.

The fee on credit cards is 3.5%

 

Please read this too:

1. Ordering by e-mail is best (to frank@fsrcoin.com), but please do not send a separate file or attachment. Put the whole order in thee-mail message.

2. It speeds things if you list the prices of the items ordered.

3. Also include your name & address!

4. Don't send money unless asked to.

5. I normally acknowledge orders pretty fast. If you don't get an e-mail back, check with me again

6. In the initial feeding frenzy of orders, it becomes generally impossible to confirm availability of specific items. I simply fill the orders as received, as fast as I can, which can take a week.

7. Telephoning will only delay processing your order!

8. Be sure to let me know if your e-mail address changes.

9. Please don’t ask me to send images of cheap coins.

10. Most important -- enjoy numismatics!
