Hey everyone, I was wondering if anyone could provide me with info on Nomos. I know they are very reputable, but I was wondering about their shipping (if they do fedex and the cost), their payment options (i.e. if they accept USD) and how long it takes to receive their invoices (i.e. is it 2 weeks like NAC)? I am registered to bid with them and I sent them an email with these questions, but I never received a response. Thank you! Rc
They do fedex, at least since Coronavirus (and for higher value orders). Shipping prices I've paid (not including insurance): 32 28 28 28 (last one is via swiss post and pre covid) Edit: context is I'm American
Payment options from an invoice I've had: Payment methods PayPal <link removed> (+4.4% PayPal service fee) Bank transfer Full bank details on the invoice. Credit card Please contact us (+4.4% service fee). Invoicing time is typically short (a couple of days)
I would say send in another registration. They've been just wonderful with me. I won a fun snack from their Obols auction but missed out on my mark The snack: SICILY. Leontini, Circa 450-440 BC. Litra (Silver, 12 mm, 0.83 g, 10 h). ΛΕΟ - Ν Lion’s head with open jaws to right. Rev.

A few rough spots, otherwise, very fine. Ex: Nomos: Obols They were willing to let me wait until the next auction, so my cheap butt could save on (slightly prohibitively expensive, but I don't recall dollar amount) shipping, to buy this plate coin: EUBOIA. Histiaia. 3rd-2nd centuries BC. Tetrobol (Silver, 15 mm, 2.06 g, 9 h). Vine-wreathed head of nymph Histiaia to right, wearing pendant earring and necklace. Rev.

Drachm (Silver, 16.5 mm, 4.25 g, 12 h), probably Seleukeia on the Tigris, after circa 305/4 BC .

Happy with NOMOS. Communications, better in hand, etc. As always with any Auction, always read the terms, conditions, costing, etc. Ensure you build everything in when considering a bid. I always use a spreadsheet to calculate my Fully Loaded Landed Cost based on their terms, customs, freight, exchange rate, method of payment costs, etc. and my bid (I usually project my maximum bid). I recommend. Couple of my NOMOS wins: Their attribution Anonymous, circa 300/280-276 BC. Didrachm (Silver, 20mm, 7.28 g 11), uncertain mint (Neapolis?).
