About us
Material that was actually there
Collect Lincoln handles American historical material: coinage, struck medals, Civil War tokens, signed letters and documents, campaign ferrotypes and ribbons, obsolete currency, and the printed ephemera that surrounded all of it. Most of it is nineteenth-century, and world coinage turns up alongside it often enough to be worth looking through.
How pieces are described
Each listing states what the piece is, what condition it is in, and where it came from when that is known. Where a chain of ownership is incomplete or an attribution is probable rather than certain, the listing says so in those words. Photographs are of the actual item, never a stock image or a reference example.
Authenticity
Every piece is researched and examined before it is listed, and third-party certification is noted on the listing where it exists. Where an attribution is probable rather than certain, the listing says so in those words instead of rounding up. Anything that reaches you not as described can be returned on the terms below.
Returns and shipping
Any piece may be returned within 14 days for any reason, including simply not liking it in hand. Items ship insured and are packed for archival transit. Return shipping on a change of mind is the buyer's; on anything we described incorrectly, it is ours.
The sold archive
Sold pieces stay on the site permanently, prices included. Collectors and researchers use past sales as comparables, and removing them would quietly make the market harder to read.
