HOW TO ORDER
FROM OUR FIXED-PRICE CATALOG

HOW TO ORDER: Unlike other website sellers, we cannot offer a "shopping
cart" system because almost all our merchandise is "one of a kind," and many
items sell so fast that we do not have time to update the site with "sold" signs
before something gets ordered twice. All you need to do is simply contact us by
phone (407.975.3325), fax (407.975.3327), or email
(info@sedwickcoins.com)
to let us know the item(s) you want, and we will handle everything in the order
received. When you order, please be sure to give the item description in
addition to the 13-digit alpha-numeric inventory code (the simplest thing is to
highlight the whole item in its box, copy it, and paste it into your email or
written order). Again, we are not able to update the catalog every day to show
what is sold, so please don't be disappointed if you miss something, rather
provide alternate selections just in case. For credit-card orders, please be
sure to provide the card # with 3-digit extension on back, expiration date, your
name on the card, and the billing address for that card.
If you wish to pay by PayPal, which we do now offer,
please so indicate with your order and we will send you a PayPal invoice
(please do NOT use our regular email address to send
payment by PayPal).
Please send your order by email to:

To avoid having
to re-number everything when I update my catalog, I have instituted a 13-digit
inventory system to keep the same number with each item forever (even after it
is sold, you will be able to access the photos from the archive). Please
indicate the inventory number with a description of the item and its price when
you order (simplest thing is to highlight the whole item in its box, copy, and
paste into your email or written order).
GRADING: From best to worst, UNC is
Uncirculated, AU is Almost Uncirculated,
XF is Extra Fine, VF
is Very Fine, F is Fine, VG
is Very Good, and G is Good, with Fair and Poor
below that. (“About” or “A” means the coin is just shy of the indicated grade. “Mint
State” refers to lustrous, choice UNC coins.) We do not always assign
numismatic grades to sea-salvage and land-burial coins, which were usually
Uncirculated (or close to it) before the effects of corrosion and/or cleaning.
The abbreviations E and R
stand for escudos (gold) and
reales (silver), and c/m stands for
countermark; also adjustment marks is a euphemism
for light surface filing done at the mint to reduce planchet weight in tiny
increments.
COIN-OF-THE-MONTH PLAN: This is a great way to start or augment a collection:
Just tell us what you want to collect and your monthly budget, and each month we
will send your money’s worth, keep track of what you have, and seek what you
need. Every coin is sent on 10-day approval (after established credit), so there
is no obligation to keep what we choose for you. In effect you will benefit from
our proven want-list service with the safety of dollar averaging. Please call
for initial consultation.
SHIPPING RATES

SHIPPING: All
shipments are made by USPS (U.S. POSTAL SERVICE)
or FedEx by request. We now use third-party shipping insurance, reflected in the
rates below, which therefore will not match what you see on the package.
Merchandise valued $50 or more will be sent either Signature Confirmation or
Certified (up to $1000) or Registered (up to $25,000), unless Express or FedEx
is requested. For sales within the U.S. and its territories only, please add the

the U.S.), please inquire for rates (insurance available).
