<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 1583710, member: 24091&quot;]I have been asked what it was when the padded envelope was very light as if perhaps empty, yet insured for $500+ dollars for a coin like a gold Russian 10 Rouble.&nbsp; To be sure it&#039;s none of their business, and it is always without exception women clerks who ask, and my standard answer is always that it is a watch bezel.&nbsp; Most of them don&#039;t know what that is, and then state the requirement of proof of value prior to being able to make a claim on the insurance.&nbsp; With the possible exception of telling a postal clerk you are mailing cash, I can&#039;t think of dumber thing to say than admit there is a coin in the package.&nbsp; Of course sometimes you have no choice when shipping international since customs decelerations are involved.&nbsp; Which makes registered mail a necessity since even if the coin can&#039;t be insured for more than $40 at least the clerk knows the Postal Inspector will be involved if the package vanishes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
