Some of these do look good. Does anyone know what Heritage's shipping rates are to Canada?

@tycoinguy - pretty much standard FEDEX. I recently purchased a Newfoundland 50c.
>buyer's premium was 20% of winning bid (with a $19 minimum)
>shipping was ~$60 to Toronto.
Expensive but everything's insured and the service is very quick.

If you live close to the border, they will ship to a dropbox. Usually much cheaper for me.

It helps if you tell Heritage Auctions to declare on the customs forms that the items were "made in Canada". Usually you can avoid the import duty fees.

Shipping to a drop box is not possible these days , border closed , unless essential .
Also there are no import duties on numismatic coins . There is GST HST PST
depending on province . Duties are long in the past due to NAFTA in the 1990s .
Also the shipping fees the Auction houses are charging is nothing but a new revenue
Stream these days .

@Pacificoin - so is there a way to avoid that shipping cost? There's a great deal of stuff at Heritage that I'm interested in but that added cost was not welcome....

Nope , they charge whatever they can get . I bought a single lot out of DNW a few months back £ 22 for a single coin that the actual shipping was £8! Try that on ebay , you would Get negatives all over the place! |

You have to really, really like a coin or note on Heritage, add 70% plus to winning bid to get it back home, although their shipping service is very good.

Yes, I'm sure that's true. I guess the difference that sometimes makes it worth while to go there is that they have higher end stuff that's worth the splurge. ebay is terrific but there's an awful lot of pure dross that you need to fish through. That can be half the fun sometimes - finding the fabulous needle in the haystack. |

May I ask how much? Just log on to Heritage Auctions website and look it up. EastVanRob - I like the natural colour in that coin. It's beautiful, and I am sure you'll enjoy it.

Thank you. In hand, slightly more golden toning, but the surfaces are very good.
In answer to Silver 101's question, the hammer price was
US$1,100, with a US$220 buyers premium. After HA fees, exchange, GST, PST and brokerage, it was right around C$2,200. A serious commitment of funds.
