Message:: [QUOTE="buddy16cat, post: 1963335, member: 37356"]Yes, it should not apply to collectable coins and stamps per their policy but apparently they have used a priority mail clause to deny payouts or sent $15  to people sending coins to a TPG or sold on Ebay.  I just read about someone that sent a 2009 proof gold Indian and they were sent $20 when it was lost. In section 4.0 of their catalog 6.09 it states: "[1-26-14] Insurance for loss or damage to insured, COD, or Registered Mail within the amount covered by the fee paid or the indemnity limits for Priority Mail Express (under <a href="http://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/609.htm#1097235" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://pe.usps.com/text/dmm300/609.htm#1097235" rel="nofollow">4.2</a>) is payable for the following:" "For stamps and coins of philatelic or numismatic value; the fair market value is determined by a recognized stamp or coin dealer or current coin and stamp collectors’ newsletters and trade papers. The date of the fair market value determination must be current and prior to the mailing date." But under section 4.2 about priority mail express mail claims it states. c. For negotiable items, currency, or bullion, the maximum indemnity is $15.00. [/QUOTE]
