[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2096862, member: 15929"]What shipping methods do the listings state? Given the thrust by eBay to have "free" shipping on EVERYTHING, some sellers (including me) simply settle on an amount that minimizes the loss associated with mailing stuff but eBay still requires sellers to specify why type of shipping is being used. For 10 half dollars coins, the weight of the coins alone comes in at 4 postal ounces. Throw another ounce on for packaging and an additional ounce for the mailing device and you're looking at 6 postal ounces which translates into $2.86 for a 1st class package. Of course, this does not address how the coins would be packaged. 2x2's? Coin flips? Half a plastic Roll? All would have a bearing on what packing material and what "type" of package that could be used. And yes, you can insure 1st Class Mail. I don't know where you get the idea that you cannot.[/QUOTE]
