<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jimski, post: 8308947, member: 77373&quot;]I worry with each shipment I receive from the UK to the USA.&nbsp; I have lost 2 coins out of about 52 purchases by my records.&nbsp; Both of the lost coins shipped via the Royal Post, with tracking and signed delivery.&nbsp; The coins were not ancient. For both the shipping was about 20 pounds. On one purchase, I received only the shipping envelope, which was torn on the bottom to remove the coin.&nbsp; The envelope had a mess of ink stampings from along the way, declaring the envelope was received torn without the contents.&nbsp; The second was just lost.&nbsp; USPS said that it never landed in the USA.&nbsp; I have never lost a domestic coin out of 139 shipments to me.&nbsp; I have lost no shipments sent to me from 81 other non-UK international shipments.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t trust the Royal Mail and/or the UK customs.</p><p><br /></p><p>I did lose 1 coin from Israel, but this could have likely occurred because of incredibly poor packing. Large coin sent in a business envelope, with the coin held in a &quot;V&quot; of paper.&nbsp; The paper was just larger than the coin.&nbsp; The top of the V was taped. The other two sides of the V were open.&nbsp; The envelope was received torn at the bottom, and only the V paper inside, still taped.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
