[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 1971713, member: 27832"]I've just gotten back from mailing my Kennedys back to the mint, so this is relevant to my interests. I don't follow your logic here at all. If you insure them for $1000, and they disappear, you'll get $1000. What's the point in insuring them for only $1000, instead of 0? Do you really think that $6200 makes the bullseye that much bigger than $1000? I'm guessing that anybody who thinks they can get away with stealing a registered package probably isn't the brightest star in the firmament to begin with, and is probably unsuccessful enough to view a $1000 windfall just as eagerly as a $6200 one. The Mint seemed to assume that I would want to ship them back UPS, but shipping them insured by UPS Ground would've been something like $67. (UPS claims that they charge 35 cents per $100 for insurance; I'm not sure how they think that math works.)
