[QUOTE="buyingsilvers, post: 1300875, member: 18821"]You do know that USPS normal insurance and shipcover does not cover coins or bullion items? If you use these forms of insurance, you're just wasting money. You may as well not even pay for insurance. Registered mail is the only insurance form that explicitly states it will cover these items. Also it only covers up to $1000. Also if it's anything like USPS insurance, it'll only cover the lesser of original cost or replacement cost, so your payout may be less than expected if you do have to file. For shipcover, because it's an ebay/paypal product, you can't even fib saying it wasn't for coins (illegal to do in any case) because they have the auction & paypal information.
