<p>[QUOTE="calcol, post: 4639769, member: 77639"]Very likely the dealer had private insurance. However, my private insurer requires double boxing, and there can be nothing on the outside that indicates valuables within. I regularly use registered mail for coins because my insurer charges the least for registered mail. Nice thing about private insurance is that you put a value of ZERO on the registration form ... the theft-minded won't give it a second look. The zero-value also gets the lowest shipping rate. Problem for dealers using registered mail is that it can be very slow. It's essentially an entirely different service from other mail and moves at its own speed. Postal clerks are happy to take your money for priority service for registered mail, but it won't move a bit faster.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
