Payment may be made by personal cheque. It can also be made by Credit Card, but only through the PayPal system. This is both safe and secure, and there are no additional costs to the buyer for paying by this method.
If you simply require a valuation or information about an item that has come into your possession, you would be best advised to approach an auction house or museum as this is a service which we are unable to provide. Please also note that we are unable to provide the original selling price of an item in the Archive page.
If you have a medal or a collection of medals that you do wish to sell, then your call or e-mail is welcomed, but please note that an offer cannot be made without seeing and examining the item(s). Thank you.

INTRODUCTION
A WARM WELCOME . . . .
A warm welcome to this website, which contains a selection of commemorative and historical medals, as well as related objects, coins and books. All items are for sale, except those listed on the Archive page. To see a full description of what is available and the price, simply click on Medals & Medallic Art, Coins or Books in the menu on the left-hand side, and once there click on its title or yellow link. The Archive section contains items that have been sold and are no longer available.
BACKGROUND
I have been dealing in commemorative and historical medals and related works of art since 1970 and have written widely on the subject. The first book, a catalogue of British medals and their values, was published in 1987 and received the Mishler Prize from the Token and Medal Society of America. Subsequent books include a catalogue of the medallic portraits of the Duke of Wellington and a monograph on the Pingos, a family of eighteenth-century engravers and medal makers. This work was recognized with the presentation of the 2002 Carl W.A. Carlson Award by Medal Collectors of America.
I am a member of the British Art Medal Society and the British Numismatic Society, and have served on each as a member of Council. I am an elected Fellow of both the Society of Antiquaries and the Royal Society of Arts. The professional trade organizations to which I belong are the British Numismatic Trade Association and the International Association of Professional Numismatists.
PAYMENT
Prices on this website are in Sterling, but payment may be made by personal cheque in the currency of your choice. Payment may also be made by Credit Card through PayPal. Simply send an e-mail expressing your wish to pay by this method, listing the item(s) required, and an e-mail will be sent by return, implementing a credit card payment through the PayPal system. There are no additional charges for payment made by this method and it is safe and secure.
Established clients may pay for items up to 30 days after receipt. Clients who would prefer to pay over a period of time - usually between one month and three months - may do so for orders amounting to more than £250.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
All prices are net, and are subject to occasional upward revision. There are no hidden costs or additions, except in the despatch of large or heavy medals and books, to which postage will be added. Orders are usually despatched within two days of receipt of payment. Good title remains with Christopher Eimer until the item or items are paid for in full.
Each piece has been carefully selected as a pleasing example of its kind and is sold with an invoice carrying its full description, and which stands as a guarantee of authenticity. There is a ten-day return privilege on each item, which may be exchanged for another or returned for a full refund.
The images on the web-site are not to scale or in proportion with one another, but each description includes the full diameter or size.
This is an independently operated website without links to any other parties. A policy of privacy is strictly adhered to, and client information and mailing lists are not divulged, distributed or traded in any manner. The site is regularly updated with new acquisitions, and items are removed soon after an order has been received.
All the images on this website are the copyright of Christopher Eimer. Use of them for non-commercial purposes, such as publication in articles and books will be granted, but it is always nice to be asked beforehand.
Active clients include museums and other public institutions, as well as private collectors and fellow dealers. I frequently attend auctions and will, if required, view lots for clients and bid on their behalf.
If you do not see what you want, I will be pleased to receive an e-mail of your interests. Should you prefer, you can always reach me on the telephone in London, between the hours of 0900 and 1800 (GMT), Monday to Friday.
Needless to say, I am always actively seeking to buy single pieces or collections and welcome enquiries about items which are for sale.
