<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 24651101, member: 77639&quot;]There are really two kinds of safety when shipping coins:&nbsp;&nbsp; 1.&nbsp; Safety of the shipment itself … i.e. that it gets there intact.&nbsp; 2.&nbsp; Financial safety for the shipper (that’s you), meaning that if it is lost, you’re repaid by insurance.</p><p><br /></p><p>If #1 is important … that you’ll be really upset if you have to accept money instead of getting the coin back, then registered mail for shipments within the U.S.&nbsp; is the way to go.&nbsp; But you’ll have to accept the often slow transit time.&nbsp; But if you won’t be too upset getting money instead of the coin back, then financial security and speed are both possible with insurance.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you look at the insurance rate chart I posted earlier, shipping a $1,000 coin requires $1.10 insurance via registered mail.&nbsp; But it’s still only $1.80 for FedEx overnight.&nbsp; So, yes, speed + security is possible.&nbsp; That said, some dealers, auction houses and TPG’s only accept shipments to their PO box.&nbsp; In that case, you have to use USPS although private insurance is often cheaper than USPS insurance.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
