Great opportunity below to pick up some numismatic literature at a good price! I hope this is allowed because I think it is important to highlight one of the few numismatic specific booksellers we have left.

Kolbe & Fanning Numismatic Booksellers have announced our latest "Buy or Bid Sale," which begins now and will close on Tuesday, January 16, 2024. With hundreds of new additions, the sale focuses on modestly priced books, giving collectors an opportunity to add to their libraries at minimal cost.

The sale includes over 1200 works on ancient, medieval and modern coins, as well as general works, periodicals and sale catalogues. "Buy" prices have been kept low to promote sales. To further encourage participation, the firm is offering free domestic shipping to bidders spending at least $300; there is also no packing and processing fee for this sale. Again, please read the Terms of Sale before participating.

As the name of the sale suggests, customers may bid on items they wish to acquire or buy them outright at the published price. The Terms of Sale will give full instructions on how to participate: please read it carefully.

There is no printed catalogue. The PDF catalogue is available now for downloading from the Kolbe & Fanning website at numislit.com. Please send all bids to orders@numislit.com or use the bid sheet included at the end of the PDF catalogue.

Catalogue accessible at the link below also:

There are lots of books that I would like to have, however putting "lots to be mailed (outside the US) are at the risk of the purchaser", seems a complete cop-out by the seller.

I find that completely unacceptable, so that rules me out as a purchaser.

All other sellers from whom I have bought guarantee delivery or refund.

I reached out to David Fanning who runs K&F. I work for him part time also. He clarified that all shipments are insured appropriately and that they will be refunded if lost international or domestic. 1/3rd of our sales are to international buyers, many of whom are very wealthy, buying books worth tens of thousands of dollars. They are all very confident in either getting the books or getting their money back if if the package is lost.

David said the purpose of that language was more to say that once it is out of the hands of the US Postal Service that there isn't much he can do.

That being said he also admitted the terms language sounds harsher than it necessarily needs to be. But rest assured that if you win any buy or bid lots, K&F won't leave you hanging out to dry if a package gets lost.

@Hordfest, thanks again for sharing. I was able to get several titles I have been looking for at very good prices.
