<p>[QUOTE=&quot;doug5353, post: 2170683, member: 73555&quot;]Dougmeister, I don&#039;t think there&#039;s any way to &quot;save,&quot; other than to use discount postage.&nbsp; I think without a doubt it will be a parcel.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you have Hugh Woods or C.I.Agency coin insurance, you may not need postal insurance, but watch out for the deductible as well as the tracking requirements.</p><p><br /></p><p>For something smallish like a slab, discount postage doesn&#039;t work very well, because you don&#039;t have a lot of space to put stamps, which tend to be 15c (or lower) denominations.&nbsp; The larger the denomination, the smaller the discount in the marketplace.&nbsp; For $1 stamps, for instance, maybe only 7% to 10% discount; for 5c stamps, maybe 30% discount.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been mailing at a discount for 40+ years, so I never give it a thought, also because as a stamp collector, there are invariably some stamps (in large lots) that I can sell as philatelic items, over face value, which in effect reduces my acquisition costs even further.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
