<p>[QUOTE="skippy, post: 604046, member: 5296"]I've shipped many coins out over the years and have never encountered this problem. What I do is go to the form supply table that most post offices have that have the various forms to fill out. Fill out everything and take it to the counter and state, "I'd like to ship this (priority/1st class/express) with insurance". Hand them the filled out paper work. They will usually ask you if it's fragile, perishable, or liquid. Just say no. And they will ring you up. Done.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I remember that the only form in which you have to state the contents is an international customs form. I guess you could just write "collectible". </p><p><br /></p><p>To make a short post longer...</p><p>The ONLY time, a long time ago, before I started filling out the forms ahead of time, I have EVER been asked was one time when I sold a 1 gram gold nugget to someone and had to put insurance on it. The bubble mailer was so light I guess it raised some suspicion. I even told him it was a gold nugget, but we ended up getting into a conversation with him asking me if the gold was found in our area. It wasn't from our area I told him, because I had bought it from someone else before hand. </p><p>Which is true but I wish it hadn't been and I had found a gold mine.

The ONLY time, a long time ago, before I started filling out the forms ahead of time, I have EVER been asked was one time when I sold a 1 gram gold nugget to someone and had to put insurance on it. The bubble mailer was so light I guess it raised some suspicion. I even told him it was a gold nugget, but we ended up getting into a conversation with him asking me if the gold was found in our area. It wasn't from our area I told him, because I had bought it from someone else before hand. Which is true but I wish it hadn't been and I had found a gold mine. But we can all dream. :cool:[/QUOTE]
