  1. FACTS, RISKS AND POLICIES THAT YOU, COLLECTORS AND PURCHASERS SHOULD KNOW:

(A)      DIVERSIFICATION.
NCBR recommends that coins, rare currency and bullion should, at all times, only be part of a diversified portfolio.

(B)       LIQUIDATION/BUY-BACK POLICY.

When you decide to sell your coins or currency, NCBR appreciates the opportunity to purchase them at our current bid/buy price. NCBR is familiar with the quality and marketability of the items sold by NCBR, and does not charge any additional fees or commissions when making such purchases. Depending upon market conditions and your original purchase price, you may receive less than what you paid for the coins and currency.

The law prohibits guaranteeing to repurchase coins. Therefore, NCBR’s buy-back policy is not to be construed as a guarantee and is subject to change without notice.

(C)      DELIVERY.
All packages shipped to NCBR’s clients are insured. Your acquisitions will be delivered within twenty-eight (28) days of payment of good funds (unless your State requires a different delivery period). If a shipment is lost or damaged, NCBR will, at NCBR’s sole election, either (i) replace the items or (ii) refund your purchase price.

Please inspect the shipment thoroughly upon receipt to ensure you have received your order and that the items track the description on your delivery invoice. Any variance from your order must be reported to NCBR in writing within five (5) days of receipt of your shipment and you must have all original packing materials intact.  Unless otherwise herein indicated, all sales are considered final.

(D)      RISK.

All investments involve risk. Coins, currency and bullion are no exception. The precious metals, rare coin and rare currency markets are speculative, unregulated and volatile. Prices for these items may rise or fall over time. The value of a bullion coin is largely determined by the current spot or market price of bullion. This price fluctuates throughout the trading day. NCBR does not guarantee any client buying for investment purposes, or otherwise, will be able to sell for a profit in the future. Bullion, rare coins and currency can go down as well as up in value. These items may not be suitable for everyone. NCBR does not determine the suitability of any specific person to purchase rare coins or currency or bullion.

The value of a numismatic or rare coin is determined by multiple factors which can and do fluctuate independently from bullion prices. These factors include: the perceived scarcity of the coin, its quality, current demand, market sentiment and economic factors.

You should consult with your independent financial advisor regarding whether an investment in rare coins or currency or bullion is right for you. You should not acquire any products from NCBR if you are not competent or qualified to make your own financial decisions. You should obtain a thorough understanding of the coin and bullion items before you acquire these items as a collector, investor or otherwise. You should evaluate its current market value, potential for appreciation and liquidity. Since rare coins, currency and bullion can decline and vary in value, you should have adequate cash reserves and disposable income before you consider acquiring coin, currency or precious metals. Early withdrawal from accounts or securities which may result in substantial penalties or fees is not recommended under any circumstances. You should consult with your independent financial advisor before disposing of any security, annuity, Certificate of Deposit or other investment to acquire rare coins, currency or bullion.

The prices charged by NCBR are subject to change based on market conditions. Prices are set internally based upon analysis of a variety of factors and are not necessarily tied to the prices quoted by any other organization. The price differential or “spread” between NCBR’s selling price (the “ask” price) and the buy-back price (the “bid” price) is often referred to as a “transaction cost.” The profit before operating expenses may be more or less than the spread based on various factors including, but not limited to, the following: quantity purchasing, favorable or unfavorable purchases and positive and negative market conditions. NCBR acts as a principal, not as a broker, and generally owns the coins and precious metals it buys and sells.

NCBR does not recommend exchanging rare coins and/or currency (trading one coin or currency for another) unless you fully understand the costs involved in the buy and the sell transactions including, among other things, the spread for each item involved in any exchange transaction, since you must overcome both spreads before you possibly may make a profit.

(E)       RETURN POLICY.

For your protection and convenience, NCBR provides clients with the opportunity to a refund on their first transaction for coins and currency without any reason whatsoever.  Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, this refund policy does not apply to bullion purchases or special orders.  All bullion and special-order products are non-refundable. To be eligible to receive a first transaction refund, the client must notify NCBR in writing of his or her cancellation of their first transaction within ten (10) calendar days from the date the written trade confirmation is mailed to the client (based upon the postmark) or delivered to a third-party carrier such as Federal Express. Notice must be in writing via US Postal Service, facsimile or email and sent no later than the last day of the aforementioned refund period as determined by the postmark if mailed, date of fax transmission if faxed, or date of email as set forth in the email header. All other transactions are final upon taped confirmation by a NCBR representative and are not subject to cancellation. (Your State may have additional refund and cancellation rules which supersede NCBR’s refund policy, above; please consult the terms and conditions set forth on the back of your invoice for specific rules which may apply to your purchase.)

(F)      ACCOUNT MANAGERS.

The Account Managers at NCBR are generally commissioned salespersons. Their commissions are usually greatest on rare coins and semi-numismatic coins and least on bullion related items. Their work experience, knowledge, background and training vary widely. They and/or NCBR may receive, from time to time, undisclosed compensation for recommending specific coin or currency items (including but not limited to contests, cooperative advertising, and trading profits in coins that they may own and/or sell). NCBR’s personnel are not licensed as investment advisors and are not authorized to recommend the purchase or sale of any product as an investment or sell any other product other than the items specifically sold by NCBR. Always check with a licensed professional with expertise in a particular market before making a decision to buy or sell any security, bond, annuity, financial instrument or financial product. Further, NCBR’s personnel are not tax advisors and may not provide any advice regarding taxability, tax rates or related issues for any product NCBR sells. You should always consult with your tax advisor regarding any questions about the tax implications of buying or selling bullion, rare coins or currency.

(G)      GRADING.
NCBR uses the numerical Sheldon Scale grading system which rates uncirculated rare currency and uncirculated coins from 1 to 70. Typically, the higher the grade, the more a coin or currency is priced. The grade assigned to a coin reflects its strike, luster, marks, scratches and overall eye appeal. Grading is a subjective art and is always subject to the opinion of the person grading the coin or currency. Thus, grading can and does vary from rare coin firm to rare coin firm, from grading service to grading service and from expert to expert. A difference of one grade (e.g., MS64 to MS65) can result in a significant change in the valuation of a rare coin or currency. Grading standards may continue to change, becoming more or less stringent. Grades and descriptions of rare coins and currency are opinions based on standards and interpretations that can and do change over time, and they are in no way intended to be, nor should be interpreted to be, statements of fact or guarantees.

When you acquire a coin or currency from NCBR that is independently graded by a third party grading service, such as Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) or Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) for coins and Currency Grading & Certification Incorporated (CGC), Paper Money Guaranty (PMG) or PCGS Currency for rare currency, please note that NCBR relies entirely on the expertise/determination of the grading service and upon definitions provided by these independent grading services, including definitions of such terms as PCGS’ “First Strike®” which refers to coins packaged and delivered by the US Mint in the thirty (30) day period following the initial sales date of a new product. NCBR does not re-grade or independently evaluate the product’s grade in its sealed holder, although from time to time NCBR does remove items from their sealed holder and re-submits them to the grading services. NCBR reserves the right to deliver independently graded coins that have been graded by an independent grading service of its choice, such as PCGS or NGC. NCBR guarantees that the rare coins and other items it sells are genuine. NCBR EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS WITH RESPECT TO COINS OR OTHER ITEMS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

You represent and warrant to NCBR that you have sufficient experience and knowledge to make informed decisions to purchase coins from NCBR. You acknowledge you are making your own decision to purchase coins from NCBR and/or conduct transactions with NCBR. Additionally, you acknowledge all statements, opinions, and pricing relayed to you by NCBR representatives are believed to be reliable, truthful and accurate, but they are not guaranteed in any way and are subject to change without notice. You acknowledge that NCBR advises, and you have had the opportunity to perform your own due diligence in deciding the amount and type of your coin transaction. You understand and acknowledge that past performance is not a guarantee of future returns.

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NCBR IS NOT LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIMS OR LOSSES WHICH MIGHT BE INCURRED WHILE RELYING ON INFORMATION PUBLISHED AND/OR DISSEMINATED BY NCBR.  YOU FURTHER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY RELIANCE ON ANY REPRESENTATIONS, OPINIONS OR STATEMENTS MADE BY NCBR, ANY AGENT OF NCBR, OR ANY COMBINATION THEREOF, DURING, RELATED TO, OR IN ASSOCIATION WITH, YOUR TRANSACTION, AND/OR NCBR SERVICE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, RELATED TO THE VALUE OF ANY COIN OR BULLION PRODUCTS.

  • FOR YOUR PROTECTION.

Telephone calls may be, but under no obligation to be, monitored and/or recorded by NCBR in an effort to assure quality control and policy compliance.  You accept and acknowledge these Terms and Conditions for NCBR customers, potential customers and Website visitors.

Your privacy is important to NCBR.  If at any time you no longer wish to be contacted by a NCBR representative, please call or write and ask to be placed on NCBR’s Do Not Call list.
