<p>[QUOTE="coleguy, post: 280534, member: 9167"]I don't sell and ship coins, but I do buy them and have them shipped to me a lot, so I can tell you how I, as a buyer, expects a coin to arrive. Regardless of value, it should be secure, to prevent rolling around loosly in an envelope or box. It may be worth $1, but I wouldn't appreciate damage due to shoddy packaging. Most reputable dealers use padded envelopes. I always hear people complain they're too expensive, and thus ignore their auctions. They're 99 cents for a package of 20 at WalMart...thats not a huge burden no matter who you are. Inside that the coin should be in a 2x2, or whatever other holder you use. As for mailing, I don't think most buyers care. Even standard USPS can deliver a package from coast to coast in less than a week, and if a buyer can't wait a week for delivery they need to find a coinshop where they can have it in hand that day.</p><p> </p><p>These are just my opinions as a buyer...take them as you will.</p><p>Guy~[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
