<p>[QUOTE=&quot;earlyrarecoins, post: 403637, member: 15054&quot;]There is a large thread on the PCGS forums on shipping coins using the Post Office.&nbsp; Alot of misinformation was posted.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There were claims that bubble envelopes could not be insured, and to not use them to ship coins.&nbsp; This is false.&nbsp; I work closely with the Post Office, and know several Post Office workers that know the rules perfectly.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Bubble mailers can be insured for any amount, whether it is first class or priority.&nbsp; However, bubble mailers CANNOT be sent by Registered mail.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have filed an insurance claim for a lost coin in a bubble mailer, and had no problem collecting the full insurance amount.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>There are people on the forums claiming that it is best to use a box for all coin shipments.&nbsp; This is far from the truth.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Many dealers use white envelopes or bubble mailers with no problems.&nbsp; Teletrade also uses bubble mailers.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Some members on the PCGS forums are claiming that the dealer is &quot;cheap&quot; if he uses an envelope or a bubble mailer.&nbsp; I will mention two well known dealers who are top notch, and they both use white envelopes to ship their coins.&nbsp; Rich Uhrich and Brian Greer.&nbsp; They are both top of the line dealers, and their white envelopes work just fine.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So if you are in the business of shipping coins, be sure you know the Post Office rules.&nbsp; As you can see, alot of misinformation abounds on coin forums, so your best bet is to know the rules for yourself.&nbsp; White envelopes and bubble mailers are just fine![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
