<p>[QUOTE="rlm's cents, post: 267785, member: 7957"]First of all, I assume that you knew what the shipping was before you bought it. i do not understand how someone agrees to the auction terms (and that includes shipping) and then has a right to complain about them. If you do not like them, don't buy it. However, sending it in a plain envelop MAY be another matter. Technically, it is against USPS regulations to send coins in plain envelops. Still, I think for single coins, I might just as soon have a plain envelop.

Still, I think for single coins, I might just as soon have a plain envelop. Which do you think would be most likely stolen - a regular plane envelop or a bubble mailer announcing "I have something in me"? As for the $2.50; 1. It is probably below average for sending coin. $7 to $9 is not that uncommon. 2. I calculated my costs for such a mailing. Including supplies (printer, ink, paper, etc.), mileage (I only live 0.5 miles from the post office), stamps, et al, I came to about $1.30. I believe that was mailing them 4 at a time. 3.
