<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bigjpst, post: 2066709, member: 21015&quot;]Numismatic items <u>are</u> covered under USPS insurance on first class as well as priority and express. The shipcover option does <u>not</u> cover coins. You can still purchase the&nbsp; USPS insurance through ebay. If you purchase the insurance online at USPS.com or using PP shipping the insurance is limited to $500, but directly through ebay, they have raised the limit.(not sure to what, I haven&#039;t sold anything more expensive than $1500.</p><p>Typically the USPS will deny the claim for coins at first because they are coins, but everyone I know who has appealed has eventually been paid.</p><p>I believe bullion must be sent registered in order to be covered using USPS insurance.</p><p><br /></p><p>edited to add that I have shipped at least a thousand coins in the past few years using USPS and have had coins get sidetracked, but never go missing. </p><p>Shipping coins in regular envelopes with no padding and no tracking/signature can probably explain quite a few of the &quot;missing&quot; coins that are often discussed. I have purchased coins from dealers and collectors where I&#039;m surprised that the packages actually show up with the labels still attached.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
