<p>[QUOTE="GSDykes, post: 2146271, member: 73321"]Compared to some of you folks, I ship items which are not very pricey. Usually coins valued for less than $75.00 each. Priority Mail works for me, at $5.75 its tracked and insured to $50.00 free, I read (I think) it has a $5,000 dollar limit, which again works for me. </p><p>One clever fellow in Canada, mailed to me (in America) a nice Tibet coin, it came in an 11 x 9 inch brown envelope, with a media-mail type postage (cheap). In it was some magazine about target shooting, about 80 pages. Hidden and taped within the bowels of this useless magazine was the coin I purchased. No one would have suspected that it contained anything valuable, the coin was not detectable, the "package" appeared to simply be a magazine. Of course this is not too practical if you have 15 or so mailings, unless you have a lot of old magazines. Media mail is very cheap, I suppose signature confirmation can be added, and tracking: insurance is out of the question -- but was/is it needed, in this case? Anyways, I hoped you enjoyed reading this.</p><p>Gary[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
