We need to buy tens of thousands of dollars' worth of coins and notes each and every week of the year. If you'd like to turn all or part of your collection into cash, get in touch with our expert staff and we'll be happy to start working on a deal with you.
We unconditionally guarantee the authenticity, title and grade of each and every item we sell. The tax invoices we supply ensure that you have these guarantees in writing. If you are in any way dissatisfied with an item you purchase from us, simply return it within 7 days at our expense and we'll either provide you with a replacement (where possible) or give you a prompt refund in full.
The authenticity and title of all items sold by Sterling & Currency is guaranteed unconditionally. We grade our items according to the adjectival standard, as defined by the Australian market. Two published guides that will provide you with an idea of how we grade our stock are: The Australasian Numismatic Dealer's Association (ANDA) Guide to Collecting Australian Commonwealth Coins; The International Banknote Society's (IBNS) Grading Standards.
We've done a great deal of work to ensure that the products listed in our online store are actually recorded as being available in our point of sale system. We can post items live to the website as soon as we purchase them, any products sold can be removed from our online store just as quickly. However, there is a slim possibility that the products listed on our website do not reflect our most recent sales. We will advise you immediately if any goods ordered are unavailable.
A$ cash; Personal or bank cheques in A$; Direct deposit / bank draft / telegraphic transfer; Major credit cards; Australia Post Money Order; PayPal. It is our policy not to ship any orders until we have confirmation that payment has been made into our account. For security reasons, we may request proof of identification from new clients, particularly for new clients outside Australia. Our privacy policy explains how we treat any personal information you provide us.
Sterling & Currency offers a lay by payment system at our discretion to regular clients, and only with agreement from our vendors (if any are involved). Standard lay by terms are a 25% initial deposit, followed by three equal monthly instalments. There is a $400 minimum, and penalties apply if payments are late or if the agreement is cancelled. Please contact us to discuss our Lay By Agreement prior to placing an order.
It makes sense that if you clean a coin, it might help you find out if it is rare or not, and if cleaning it makes it look better, then surely that's got to make it more valuable. Unfortunately, nothing could be further from the truth 99.99% of the time, when a coin is cleaned, it becomes less appealing to collectors, and so becomes less valuable.
I'm among the many numismatists that advocate reading and research to anyone that collects coins and notes. Not only does a deep knowledge of your area of collecting interest put you in the box seat to build your collection as cheaply as possible, it also helps you identify rarer and desirable items much more easily than otherwise. The books we list here are the best available in their category - if you can't find a title you're looking for, get in touch so we can track it down for you.
