1. How many coins can I
donate? As many as you
wish. Every coin you donate helps us accomplish our main
goal of helping change nations by feeding people: Physically,
Spiritually, Emotionally & Practically!
2. Do you accept
paper money for donations? Yes. We accept all
types of paper money, and coins which have value.
3. Do you
accept all coin(s)? No. Please do not send us
known counterfeit coins. Other than counterfeit, if you have a
shoebox full or a safe full of coins, we will gladly accept
them. As to how to send your coins, please see the bottom or
our donations page for shipping
instructions.
4. Can the coins be
loose/raw or do they have to be "certified" by a grading
company? You may send us loose (raw) coins,
or certified (slabbed) coins. We gladly accept all
coins and the same goes for paper money as well.
5. What happens after you receive my coin?
When we receive your donation(s), your
donation is logged, confirmed and a receipt is sent to you, the
donor. As needed, we will send the coin(s) to be graded and also
send them to an Independent Certified Appraiser. (These two steps
are necessary to help you, our donor, receive the maximum legal
value / tax deduction for your donation as well helping us meet
necessary IRS rules.) The coin(s) are then evaluated as to how
we can get the most money for them: Auction, Sell wholesale, Ebay,
etc. If the donor directs us to sell the coin(s) through a specific
auction house than we gladly honor the request. The coin(s) are then
sold, and the revenues received go to the ongoing support of the
Ministries of Charity Coins. Its is a very simple, straightforward
process.
6. How can I get more
information regarding your "ministries?" Please feel
free to write us with your specific question. We will share as
much information as possible as to who, what, when, where, why and
how. There may be times because of safety issues that we
cannot disclose certain information (China ministries).
As much as possible though, we will gladly answer your
questions.
7. I have
a friend that might be interested in Charity Coins. What do I
do? Our tendency is to respect
people's privacy. We ask you to share with them the
information about Charity Coins. Direct them to our
website. You can ask them if they would like information sent
to them. If so, contact us with their email and we will send
them information without "bugging" them. (We take a "treat
others how you would like to be treated" attitude as much as
possible.)
8. Can I donate online with a credit
card? Yes. While we
do not yet accept credit cards on our site, you can donate to our
causes with a credit card through PayPal. Please use our Paypal email
recipient's account: keystonekingdom@hotmail.com
when donating through Paypal. You do not have to be a
Paypal member to donate thru paypal. Please also make a note
with your donation through Paypal that your donation is for Charity
Coins. Other than this option, we accept credit card donations
from our donation page. You will have to hand write
out your credit card donation and mail it in. We
gladly accept checks and money orders for our charitable and
humanitarian causes. These are tax-deductible, of
course. For our Donation page click here.
9.
What do you do with my personal information?
No personal information is accepted through this website! All
personal information you send to us is kept extremely
confidential. We will never give out or sell your information,
EVER! Again, we treat you, our beloved donor, as we would like
to be treated!
10. How
do I ship my coins to Charity Coins? Please see the
bottom of the Donations page for instructions on
shipping.
11. I am
interested in the tax benefits from donating my coins. Can you
help? Upon receipt of your coin you will be sent a
charitable contribution receipt. If you are interested in the
tax benefits from charitable donations we will refer you to our
sister website: http://www.numanations.com/.
We also suggest you review IRS Publication 526 which sets forth the
manner in which the IRS requires you to determine the value of your
donated property. If you are interested in the tax
benefits of your coin donation the following information will be
helpful: Coin certification groups
include: ACG, ANACS, GLOBAL, ICG, NGC, NTC, PCGS, PCI, SEGS and
others. Please feel free to contact us about having your coins
certified by any of the above organizations as well as having an
Independent Certified Appraiser determine the value of your
donation. We will be glad to have both of these
services performed for you.
12. My question is not listed above, how do
I get it answered? Simply
send us an email via our contact us page. We will answer it as
quickly as possible.
