[QUOTE="gatzdon, post: 389697, member: 8247"]OK, Let this be a lesson to everyone, ALWAYS goto the source. Don't guess. [url]http://www.usps.com/insuranceclaims/_pdf/pub122.pdf[/url] Scroll to page 10 in the booklet. You will find this. g. Fair market value of stamps and coins of philatelic or numismatic value, as determined by a recognized stamp or coin dealer or current coin and stamp collector’s newsletter and trade paper. If you scroll down to page 13 to the section "What is not payable" you will find no limitations on coins. So, if you absolutely must have that specific coin and no replacement could ever fill that hole in your heart, then it must be Registered. If you just don't want to incur the dollar loss should a coin be stolen, then just use insured. The biggest reason for not telling the postal clerk what is in the envelope/package, is because they are the most likely person to steal the contents. If you feel like being polite when they ask what is in there, just say Collectibles and leave it at that.[/QUOTE]
