Product Prices
Galaxy Coins publishes a daily price list which is only indicative pricing. The pricing for all products, services and delivery costs are calculated at the time of the contract and based on the spot price plus a premium.
All prices quoted on www.galaxycoins.com.au are updated only during business hours Monday to Friday (excluding Public Holidays). These prices are indications of 'Galaxy Coins’ retail and bulk prices and are not firm commitments to buy or sell at the indicated price. Prices will be confirmed at the time of purchase/sale.

Galaxy Coins transactions are carried out in Australian dollars (AU$) and processed through PayPal. All international orders are charged in Australian dollars at the exchange rate of the day.
Bullion
Galaxy Coins sells bullion (gold, silver and other precious metals), nuggets and some coins which are defined as bullion through this website. Bullion purchases are subject to these additional terms and conditions which you are bound by from the moment the purchase order has been processed.
You recognise that on receiving your purchase order we enter a binding agreement with other parties for procurement of the bullion. The bullion price for your order is from the daily ‘live spot price’ effective when you place the order. Your total includes the bullion ordered, delivery charges and any additional charges. We will send you a notification of your total, including all charges, when the order is placed.
All orders for bullion purchase require a 10% non refundable deposit to allow us to fix the metal price; the remainder (balance) must be paid in total and in cleared funds within 3 working days.
When we have received the funds then we will send you a tax invoice detailing all charges.
In the event that a bullion purchase becomes overdue or unpaid we may do one or all of the following:
Cancel your order and refund the deposit back to you less any administration cost and drop of metal prices.
Retain the metals for an extended period of time until payments are cleared.
Cancel the order, retain any deposits and close your account which includes refusal of any future transactions.
Additionally, you cannot place a bullion order exceeding $200,000 in a day and all bullion purchases must be accompanied by suitable proof of identity as required by Australian law.
