And if the ensuing craziness of 50:per cent tariffs on Canada are imposed on August 19th many more will not be shipping to the States . Coins and bullion on the list , what stupid stuff we are living through these days !

Package from Switzerland arrived today via FedEx. No tariff charged. There is not even a declaration on the package ... very strange. But welcomed.

I was thinking of a buying a banknote from a Canadian seller. You think I should suggest just sticking it in a postcard envelope?

No not a good idea . Current tariff on a Canada note under 100 years old due to SEC 338 Tariffs is 50 per cent . No Canadian seller in their right mind is going to try and duck these current rules by playing games with US customs . She's open economic warfare as of Saturday ! Enjoy the show!

Who in their right mind is going to pay 50% tariff on a note. Might as well drive to Canada and go shopping. I am actually considering going to the Nuphilex convention in Montreal. Have you been? What is it like?

Maybe the better question what country in their right mind charges 50 per cent tariffs ? Also the 50 per cent applies to numismatic coins unless they are at least 250 years old ( oh the irony!) according to both our third party shipper and my contact at US customs ! @numised I would be real careful travelling to Canada under the current situation between our countries. The natives are Very Very upset right now .l.all 40 million of us! LOL

Bonne chance mon Ami ! By the way Nuphilex is a good Canadian show and Montreal is a wonderful city . Multi cultural for sure . I have purchased some wonderful stuff there. I will put a good word in for you when you end up in lock up . My wife's nephew is a Montreal police detective. LOL . If you go enjoy !

Yes, I have been to Montreal before. Great historic centre and beautiful interior of the Notre-Dame basilica.
