Angelo43 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Has anyone ever won any coins from them. I have won some Italian provas today and wondering if anyone has any experience with the shipping from Europe? Also, prices were very strong leading me to believe in Europe the world coins are very hot right now. Anybody have any thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zadok Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 yes i have bought from them n a few other european auction firms mostly in germany n england, mostly those countries because i trust their postal systems more n their long established reputations....i recently, past 6 months, bought some italian provos myself from italy, shipping was a bit slower than usual up to 4-5 weeks, previously was more like 2-3 weeks...im sure covid has had adverse impact on shipping internationally...i have bought a very few coins from russia, personally i have had no bad transactions but for most part their time in business have been short n hence a bit risky...i buy from india but do not ship to there nor do i ship to italy, big postal theft issues both countries....japan is very credible as well....albania, estonia, lithuania, latvia all bit questionable but i have bought vintage car parts from lithuania without issue....hopefully some help....

coinsandmedals Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 I have not purchased anything from Katz, but I routinely buy from European auction houses, and I have had no issues so far. Shipping times vary widely in normal circumstances, and COVID seems to have introduced even more variation. Some auction houses opt for FedEx overnight deliveries, while others only offer registered international mail. Standard registered international mail is usually estimated to take about 3-4 weeks, but from my experience it is closer to 2-3 weeks once in the system. So long as your package does not get caught up at the ISC in New York, you should be good to go. Oddly enough, most of my international packages have made it to the United States within a few days, but it takes at least a week for them to then make their way through customs and into my mailbox.

RWB Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 There's a Katz' Kosher Supermarket in Silver Spring, Maryland. I don't think they have auctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
