Worldwide: charged at actual cost (though eBay) per package, price should be the same or nearly the same no matter how many coins. 30 day returns. All coins unconditionally guaranteed genuine without time limit. Do not pay until it is time to ship: If you think you might buy additional items within the next week, you should pay when you are done with all of your purchases. In order to maintain a preferred commission schedule, eBay expects me to ship items within one day of receiving payment. When I receive payment I ship as soon as possible. Ebay may not automatically apply combined postage. I will send invoices when needed. If I don't, just ask for an invoice with combined postage. If you pay for your items without the combined postage, I can just refund the extra. INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS, PLEASE NOTE: Direct international shipping is calculated by eBay at actual cost. In general, the price for an international package is around $16. It may cost a lot less for people in other countries to send the same package to me, but that is my cost from where I am. There may also be a problem with with eBay combining postage when buying multiple coins. Postage to most international locations should be the same for one coin or multiple coins. It doesn't matter how many coins in the shipment, the postage should be pretty much the same as for one coin. If it is significantly higher, then ask for an invoice with combined postage and I will provide one.

NGC Certified Hun Coin of Nezak Drachm 6th Century AD In circa AD 370, the Huns appeared in Europe, seemingly out of the blue. The nomadic tribes from the steppes of Central Asia surged westward, conquering territory, slaughtering those who came in their path, and looking for all the world like the world-destroyers of ancient prophesy. The "Gog and Magog" in the Hebrew Bible was believed to refer to the Goths and the Huns, who combined to end the Western Roman Empire and with it, the period of late antiquity. The Huns were the beginning of the Middle Ages. Attila the Hun, born in 403, reigned from 434 until his death in 453-the peak of Hunnic power. After his death, the Huns declined, although they remained active in Central Asia for centuries. Because of their demonization by contemporary historians, as well as their fierceness in battle, Huns are still regarded as fearsome today. This Hunnic drachm was struck by the Nezak Kings from 480-560. Certified and encapsulated by NGC.
