<p>[QUOTE="Numismania, post: 1129745, member: 28971"]I always put my coins in a padded mailer, #000 I believe, wrap it in bubble wrap, drop it in a 'small-box' Priority Mail box, with nothing sliding. For $7 and change for under $200 items, I know my mailer won't get 'opened/damaged', naturally, or with a 'bit of help', and my buyers (on & off ebay), traders (off ebay), are always happy. You can't skimp on shipping.

I was told at my local P.O.'s that the padded mailers, the smaller ones, are now under the 'thickness' requirement at the P.O.
