<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 2770816, member: 77639&quot;]Well, the $50k insurance limit for USPS registered mail is plenty for me.&nbsp; But I&#039;ve noticed in the USPS fee schedule that mail can be registered for up to $15 million at $1.55 per $1000 of value. Yup, so your million dollar coin would cost $1,550 to send registered.&nbsp; In case you haven&#039;t used registered mail, the registration fee is the insurance (up to $50k coverage).&nbsp; Postage for transport is additional, but is usually inexpensive compared to the registration fee.</p><p><br /></p><p>But why would anyone register anything for more than $50k?&nbsp; I doubt the security is any better for a parcel registered at $1M than one registered at $50k, and the insurance coverage is the same.&nbsp; I would guess that most coins valued over $50k (and many less valuable) move with private insurance and are not registered.&nbsp; When I&#039;ve sent coins to auction houses, they&#039;ve supplied private insurance with the only requirement being overnight FedEx or USPS express mail.&nbsp; The coverage limit was $100k max per parcel (no problem there!).&nbsp; $1M coins probably are moved by armored car companies for less than a $1,500 haulage fee.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do folks really pay thousands for registering parcels worth millions even though the most they can get if it doesn&#039;t arrive is $50k?&nbsp; What am I missing here? </p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
