<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Casman, post: 3619043, member: 85295&quot;]I had a seller ship one in a plain white envelope inside a saflip.&nbsp; There was no discernible return address, he spelled my name wrong and address was hard to read as all was written with a wide black sharpie.&nbsp; I paid $23 for the coin, which traveled all over the US before finally arriving in my mailbox.&nbsp; The envelope had a rip, hi-low looking tire track and my then 8 yr old said Hey Dad I think your coin arrived but you ain&#039;t gonna like it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The envelope had a weird insurance tag on it and IIRC the printed cost said $4.12.&nbsp; The coin was pushed half out the flip but otherwise undamaged.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I left the seller positive feedback and also sent a note about how to ship it properly and for much less money.</p><p><br /></p><p>Did I get a Thanks?&nbsp; No.&nbsp; The seller responded with &quot;Listen, I&#039;m a professional numismatist dealing coins for years and always ship this way and mine was his first complaint&quot;.&nbsp; He then went on to say I didn&#039;t know what I was talking about regarding costs and running a business.</p><p><br /></p><p>I found his reply rather irritating and couldn&#039;t resist.&nbsp; I replied that a professional numismatist wouldn&#039;t sell a $4K coin for $23 let alone ship it in a envelope.</p><p><br /></p><p>With this he cursed me and made reference to balls.&nbsp; Last time I ever tried to help someone save money on shipping.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
