So apparently the answer is yes, overseas shippers who use their country's postal service CAN send a coin via USPS registered mail when it...
So does that mean, when the coin was delivered to you, that you had to sign a receipt or acknowledgement that the package was delivered? Because...
I was curious about this so I went to the USPS website to try to learn about tracking packages. It's one of the most confusing websites I've ever...
I'm curious about your description "treated as Registered Mail." It's either registered mail, or not registered mail -- there's no "sort of...
You must be referring to auctions with which I'm not familiar. Every auction I see on Sixbid has pictures of their coins, most of which are very...
