Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2015

Thank you for continuing with us for another year; we hope our services will also be useful to you during the next.

Since we are entering the Christmas season, and as every other year, we remind you that during this period you might experience some delays in your shipments due to the high volume of postage that all postal services experience during this season. We appreciate your patience, and like to reassure you that - as always- all our sales are guaranteed against any postal losses or damage.

Also remind you that you still have until the 25th of December to participate in our “Coins in the Movies” promotion; date when we will be choosing at random one of the participants and send him or her a Silver Ounce coin completely free. You can find more information about this promotion in our Coins in the Movies page.

And last, also notify you that from the 1st of January, and due to the current low prices of our silver coins, which by policy are linked to the prices of precious metals in the international markets, we will be ending our “Free Shipments” promotion for sales over $100, €70, or £60. If you have any large purchase planned, and wish to take advantage of this offer, please place your order before the 1st of January 2015.

And that’s all... Have a very nice Christmas, and thank you for choosing Silveragecoins.com for another year.

Ebay Scams and Summer Delays

It has come to our attention that some Ebay sellers are using our name and pictures to scam buyers. If you find any auction with our name or pictures of our coins and doubt their authenticity, please do not hesitate to contact us. In any case, let you know that we do not sell our items through other sellers or names, nor we grant anyone else permission to use our name. At the moment, the only account we occasionally use to auction items on Ebay is silveragecoinscom.

We also take this opportunity to apologize to any affected customer for the delays in some shipments along the last month. Apart from taking a week off –the first one in 4 years-, we have also been working only on a part time basis; which is also the case of our local post office. From the 16th of September we will return to full time –as well as our post office- and keep our compromise of sending every shipment on the next working day after the reception of the payment.

Thank you for your patience and your understanding.

New Mobile Website and Server Changes

In preparation for the launch of our new mobile website, which we expect to be ready in short, we had to make some changes recently to our server.

You may have noticed that the addresses to all the pages in our website are now preceded by the "www" subdomain. This might have the adverse effect on some users who have stored their preferences and shopping cart content previous to the 1st of July; as these would not be accessible any longer, and would have to be entered again. We sincerely apologise for this inconvenience; but we were unable to make the necessary changes while keeping the old cookies.

We have also changed the access to the static content throughout our website to a cookie-less subdomain. This shouldn’t have any effect on your browsing and shopping experience –with the exception of faster loading pages, especially those with many pictures.

Besides these issues, there is always the possibility of unintended error and mistakes; in which case we would appreciate if you let our webmaster know at webmaster@silveragecoins.com.

Thank you for your understanding, and again, sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused.

New Search Engine, Low Prices and Advertising

Following some of our customers’ suggestions to upgrade our search engine in the Catalogue and List pages, we have now installed a new one powered by Google. You will find the new Google Search Engine at the bottom on the lateral of every page throughout our website, and also at the top of the Catalogue page; also followed by our old engine, which you will still need to use to select specific sections, countries, metals, and availability.

You may also have noticed that during the past month we have lowered our prices to the lowest in the past 5 years. This is due to the recent drop in the price of Silver in the international markets, to which our prices are linked. To compensate for this drop, and to keep with our policy of charging the right price for all our items, we have decided to optimize the advertising throughout our website.

We sincerely hope that these changes will satisfy all our visitors and enhance our customers’ shopping experience.

Bargains of the Week and Ebay Auctions

We have two fantastic news for all our customers: this week we inaugurate the “Bargains of the Week”section in our homepage; in which, as its title implies, we will be offering every week four of our best coins at reduced prices. This promotion is open to any customer, registered or not, and can be combined with any other offer currently available; like Fixed P&P for any number of items, or the Free Shipping promotion for registered customers.

Also this weekend, starting Friday 21st of March, and as it has become usual every year, we will be auctioning on Ebay.co.uk and Ebay.es some of our excess stock, replacement items, repeated years and grades, and many other coins that were never previously available in our shop. There will be a lot of different types of coins for everyone to choose from; and the best of all, these will be no reserve auctions starting at just 25 pence for common coins, and 99 pence for silver coins.

As always, all our sales, whether on Ebay or through our shop, can be combined at no extra cost; and all are protected by our full guarantees.

Find a Coin in a Movie, and Win a Silver Ounce

PromoFinding a Coin has always been a sign of good luck; and from now on even if you find it in the Movies. Today we begin a new promotion, and will be sending a Silver Ounce for free to one of you for simply letting us know that you found a Coin in a Movie. There are just three simple conditions to participate in this promotion:
- It has to be a movie well known worldwide (no Television or Video productions) that has not been already included in our promotional video, or submitted by another participant -these will be published regularly in our Facebook and Google+ pages.
- It has to be a coin included in our catalogue (any coins listed in our Free Price Guide); but the coin must be clearly identifiable in the movie. We will also accept milled silver coins that are not in any of our guides.
- The promotion is open to anyone who wishes to send a submission, but you need to be a Registered Customer to participate in the draw for the Silver Ounce.
On the 25th of December 2014 we will pick a winner at random among all the participants, and send him/her before New Year a Free Silver Ounce from the ones available in our catalogue.
So, if you have found a coin in a movie, simply fill and send the short form that you will find in our promo page, and good luck! You can participate as many times as movies you find with coins featured in them.
