<p>[QUOTE="coin_nut, post: 3620796, member: 80148"]A couple weeks ago I was told by my letter carrier that I needed to go to the post office annex center to sign for a packet with some damage to the envelope. I recognized the seller's return address and of course, my own name and address on the approximately 6"x10" bubble wrap lined manila envelope. The end of the envelope had been taped over where apparently it had ripped a bit. The contents (62 assorted world coins) were just drifting around inside, loose. The man asked me what was the contents and I told him "Satang gao laeo" (old money). I was a bit amazed that the coins were not at least wrapped tightly in a plastic bag or something other than merely tossed in there loose. I am sure that anyone who handled that packet along the way could easily tell that it contained coins, and therefore was more susceptible to theft. I could not discern any extra damage to the coins, some of which were still a good solid AU58.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
