<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dreamer94, post: 352507, member: 6449&quot;]While we&#039;re on the subject, I wanted to share an important lesson I learned. A few months ago, I purchased a high-grade 1955 DDO. The seller sent it by USPS Priority Mail with insurance and delivery confirmation. It never arrived. We learned that priority mail, even with delivery confirmation doesn&#039;t provide any tracking information in between the time you mail it at the post office and the time it is delivered. The post office couldn&#039;t even tell me whether it had left the originating post office for sure. They wouldn&#039;t bother looking for it until the insurance claim was filed which required a wait of 30 days. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Fedex and UPS provide step-by-step information of every destination along the way and also give you an estimated delivery time. Registered mail may provide more information, but I&#039;m not sure. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>(In case you&#039;re wondering, the seller was very gracious about it and actually sent me a replacement coin on approval without paying additional money and took on the risk of collecting the insurance settlement on his own. I checked with ebay and he was under no obligation to do that. The original coin was never found)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Lesson learned: don&#039;t use USPS Priority Mail even with delivery confirmation and insurance for valuable coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
