<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rlm&#039;s cents, post: 352032, member: 7957&quot;]I received a slabbed coin in the mail today.&nbsp; It was a PCGS OGH.&nbsp; The seller apparently tried to save a few cents and sent it in a plain white envelope inside one of those cardboard sticky sealers, but he did insure it.&nbsp; Can anyone picture what happens to a hard plastic holder goes through an automatic canceling machine?&nbsp; It did.&nbsp; The slab is now in pieces.&nbsp; At the seller&#039;s suggestion, I took it to the post office to file a claim, although I was pretty sure what would happen.</p><p><br /></p><p>After going through the clerk, his boss and the next boss, the claim was denied because it was improperly packaged.&nbsp; I have yet to get a good definition of what is required to be properly packaged.&nbsp; The clerk said 2 inches - YEA RIGHT.&nbsp; They do not believe that a padded envelope would be enough.&nbsp; Somehow, I think that if they accepted it for insurance, they should have to pay, but they say otherwise.&nbsp; However, the big boss did suggest that I return it and that the post office of origin might pay the claim.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not sure just exactly what end result of this is except to say if you are mailing slabs, or even raw coins, you had better use some insulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
