 Welcome to my website, which features a selection of commemorative, historical  and  art  medals  for sale. I hope that you will enjoy browsing through this site, which I update frequently. I invite you to be a regular visitor. I accept payment by Paypal and by most other means. Please use the buttons to the left to view medals within the categories listed.

I have been collecting and dealing in medals for over thirty years. I established my business in England in the 1970s and moved to the United States in 1980. I publish regular price lists and will be pleased to add you to my mailing list. The medals listed on this website represent only a cross section of my stock. I will be pleased to hear from collectors with specific interests.

TERMS OF BUSINESS

Payment should accompany orders, unless you have already established credit. All medals are guaranteed to be as described and are sent on fifteen days approval. Prices on this website include postage. Overseas postage will be quoted upon request. Please allow up to ten days for the processing or orders.

GRADING

Since medals are subject to less handling than coins, I try to be conservative in my use of terms describing their condition. I do not use the term "uncirculated," since medals, by definition, do not circulate in the way that coins do. I use "extremely fine" to describe medals that are in their original condition or close to it. I use "very fine" to describe medals that are not quite in their original condition, but are still attractive. When a medal has an obvious defect, such as an edge bump or an uneven patina, I note it in the description. In general the medals on this list are pleasing examples of their kind.
