Q. about buying coins from member in Foreign Country

Postby Lemon Thrower » Thu Sep 01, 2011 1:02 pm

I have worked out a deal to buy some U.S. coins from a member in the U.K. He's going to ship the coins to me.

Should I have any concerns about actually receiving these coins? Will they get held up in customs? Do I have to pay any taxes for importing them?

Hi there-

JMO, I don't think so, unless it's worth a lot of money or contains a lot of coins, and even then, I still don't think so. I think it would be harder to ship to the UK than to the US. You should be fine. Where's Somnophore?
