<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 2113787, member: 15062&quot;]I can understand a #6 or #10 envelope sometimes falling through the cracks, or even a small package disappearing into a black hole, but I once had an antique map mailed to me in a USPS mailing tube, 4&quot; wide and 3&#039; long.&nbsp; My name and address were printed directly on the tube along with a separate label glued on with the same info.&nbsp; Additionally, my and the shippers names and address were inside the tube on a shipping receipt.&nbsp; Yet, somehow this somewhat bulky item was &quot;lost.&quot;&nbsp; I can only conclude that it was stolen somewhere along the way.</p><p><br /></p><p>My point is that if someone (a postal worker 99% of the time) sees a package mailed by a recognized dealer in coins, maps or what have you, or if a package has great amounts of insurance, you might as well print &quot;Steal Me!&quot; on the outside. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re mailing a coin you&#039;re probably best served by putting it in a 2x2 flip taped to an 8.5x11 sheet of paper in a #10 envelope with a Forever stamp.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
