<p>[QUOTE=&quot;pprp, post: 4795454, member: 94602&quot;]Sorry this happened; at least they weren&#039;t extremely valuable nor (I hope) irreplaceable...</p><p><br /></p><p>As others noted already this could have been accidental damage in the sorting machine and your coins could be now doing tours on the belts :-/&nbsp; This is the reason packing is very important. This type of soft envelopes with internal bubble wrap can easily get damaged and still several dealers keep using them. I also had a case where the envelope arrived stamped &quot;damaged&quot; by the post but fortunately the carton with the coin was still inside.</p><p><br /></p><p>As someone mentioned that the insurance would not pay because he signed on delivery, this is a very tricky point. Unless the sender uses tamper proof tape all around the edges of the envelope, fraudulent clerks can open/reseal the envelop in a way that is not so evident that you could immediately spot on delivery. Recording a video of yourself unboxing/opening the envelop might help.... </p><p><br /></p><p>My worst experience ever was when I opened a DHL express envelop only to find out that the carton containing the coin was packed with tape saying &quot;repacked&quot;. The coin was still there but I nearly got a heart attack... The external envelop had no signs of opening. So what happened most probably was that the original envelop was opened at customs and DHL used a new envelop (and stickers). If the coin was &quot;lost&quot; in the customs then I would have been screwed big time. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1164730[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the little fellow:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1164728[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
