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 casual, off-the-cuff valuation, this is a service that cannot be provided without seeing the item at first hand, and you would therefore be best advised to approach a local dealer or auction house in your area.
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.

4. The Pingo Family and Medal Making in Eighteenth-Century Britain, by Christopher Eimer, 1998
Published by the British Art Medal Trust. Stiff card covers, 21 x 29.5 cm. 96 pp., 236 entries, all illustrated.
As new.
£20 Buy
Notes: This book overturns the established view of the Pingos as Italians coming over to Britain in the 1740s. In so doing, it provides firm evidence of them actively engaged as clockmakers and engravers in London in the 1680s, and it suggests that the family had provincial English origins.
It traces four additional generations of Pingos, and includes a catalogue of all their known work, which numbers over two hundred medals, coins, waxes, models and drawings.
Of particular prominence amongst the Pingos is Thomas Jr, who is believed to be the first medallist in Britain to establish his own private manufactory for the making of medals. Hitherto, they had been struck largely at the Mint.
The price to include postage and packing within the United Kingdom is £23; elsewhere in Europe and the rest of the world, £26.
