[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2038948, member: 15929"]I have shipped many rolls of Eisenhower Dollars. Each Roll weighs a full pound. As such, priority mail is my primary method although other methods could be used. I always ship the coins in a square tube with a packing peanut stuffed into the end with the tube being fully taped shut. The tube then gets wrapped in bubble wrap with packing peanuts to take of the slack. Sometimes, I've even taped the roll directly to the box. With such a heavy item, paper rolls easily break open and spill the coins out. Even wrapped in bubble wrap, its possible to break the paper roll. My method of shipping Flat Rate Priority mail has never failed and I always let the buyers know that these coins can be expensive to mail. I HAVE received busted open paper rolls. I HAVE received busted open clear plastic tubes. I've received "empty" cardboard Priority Mail envelopes from dumb sellers. I have received full 1000 coin bags in busted up Large Flat Rate Priority Mail boxes. The point being, these are large, heavy coins and packages need to be completely taped up with strong reinforced packing tape. As such, shipping them in square tubes is the only option I ever consider.[/QUOTE]
