<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 3642379, member: 66&quot;]It really depends on how the seller chooses to ship the coin.&nbsp; That $20 Indian head cent you mention could be put in a 2X2 stapled to and between a couple thin sheets of cardboard or in a safe-t-mailer and shipped first class international for $1.15.&nbsp; Or put in a plain box the size of a small priority box and shipped as a package for between $10.50 and $14.50 depending on how far it is going ($14.25 to Finland).&nbsp; Priority mail international in the small box is $33.60 to $36.60 (Finland is $35.65)&nbsp; Priority mail express is $62.90 Global Express Guaranteed to Finland is $96.45</p><p><br /></p><p>Most collectors here are used to shipping domestically using priority mail and would probably just automatically chose that for their international shipping as well adding that extra $20 shipping fee over first class.&nbsp; (Priority and first class are both handled the same, and typically travel together at the same speed.&nbsp; Priority just costs more.&nbsp; Priority Express DOES travel faster, but cost a whole lot more, domestic or international.)</p><p><br /></p><p>As Clawcoins mentioned there are some countries you really don&#039;t want to ship to due to a high risk of theft from the mail, fortunately Finland is not on that list.</p><p><br /></p><p>And then with some countries you have the nightmare of customs and customs duties.&nbsp; Customs can introduce long delays, and some collectors get a nasty surprise when they find out after paying for the coins and the shipping that they then have to pay sometimes high customs duties to get them to release the coin.&nbsp; The US doesn&#039;t charge duties on coins coming in.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
