<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Scuba4fun777, post: 2198335, member: 75199&quot;]I&#039;ve made well over a thousand coin purchases on eBay &amp; have only received 4 torn envelopes. Two of which arrived in a USPS body bag, missing all contents. All were Manila envelopes. </p><p>When I send coins (stabbed or raw), I use a #000 poly envelope &amp; a 3 1/4&quot; by about 10&quot; strip of cardboard I cut from an old box. I&#039;ll fold the cardboard in half, sandwiching the item in between, then tightly tape the cardboard together. Now, this 3x5 shipper fits snugly inside the poly envelope. You can use the same two pieces of clear packing tape to adhere the label (printed at 77% size, so it will fit) and secure the flap on the envelope. </p><p>Maybe a little overkill on the packaging here, however I have yet to have any damaged shipments! My philosophy is that there will always be a temptation for someone to tamper with packages in the mail. My goal is to make my packages the least tempting (or most difficult to get into). Btw- even a slabbed Morgan packaged this way comes in at under 3oz, so this method should save some postage costs, too. Hope that helps![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
