<p>[QUOTE=&quot;deadmunny, post: 801165, member: 14029&quot;]Nervous about shipping coins for the first time?&nbsp; Wondering how you are going to pack that 1976 proof set that is to be sent to Spain?&nbsp;&nbsp; And how much it will cost to get to Barcelona? No sweat!&nbsp; One thing that I&#039;ve learned from the experienced numismatists at CoinTalk is how to handle packing and shipping of coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>1. Don&#039;t allow loose coins to rattle in your package.</p><p>2. Padded envelopes work best, but you can make your own by wrapping the lot in bubble wrap and stuffing it in your package.</p><p>3. Never let&nbsp; tape to come into direct contact with a coin.</p><p>4. An inexpensive digital scale is invaluable in determining shipping weight.</p><p>5. The US Postal website allows one to calculate postage to anywhere on the globe.</p><p>6. Tape edges and seams with shipping tape for strength.</p><p>7. When shipping from the US to a foreign country, subtle declarations like &quot;hobby supplies&quot; or &quot;machine parts&quot; should be used for obvious reasons.</p><p>8. Delivery confirmation (only 70 cents) can work wonders in boosting the buyer&#039;s ease of mind.</p><p>9. Too much email communication is better than too little or none at all to create the confidence bond between buyer and seller.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s more fun to receive packages than ship, but I thought I&#039;d share some tips that I&#039;ve learned here that make my buyers happy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
