<p>[QUOTE="New Windsor Bill, post: 4509682, member: 78123"]When selling coins on ebay , you mail them in a regular envelope. You will need one first class stamp plus one 21 cents stamp not because of the weight but the bulge it causes in the flat envelope, because of the PO. machinery it would get hung up. But the problem with sending a coin this way is that the coin rarely makes it to the buyer. It is stolen and the buyer receives an empty envelope, reason being, it can be felt very easily through the envelope. Another thing is that when you send a coin this way, there is no tracking and a lot of times the buyer will say they never received it (total loss) and you have to refund the buyer. It is really hard to sell on ebay because people do not realize the high price to send a package with tracking which is the only way I send out a coin and that is about $3. I have sold on ebay since 2006 and have received many packages that were stamped by the PO., empty with the hole taped up. The only way to send a coin safely is to disquise it by making it totally unrecognizable when in a soft padded envelope. I use a thin hard cardboard and put the coin in the middle.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
