[QUOTE="clembo, post: 280550, member: 8033"]Great point Topher! I have shipped coins as "camera supplies" depending on the size of the package. Currency is easier. PLEASE DO NOT BEND PHOTOS ENCLOSED. I do NOT trust the USPS insurance. It varies fom post office to post office EVEN if you know the rules better than they do. Certified is a must on higher dollar stuff. Then you can insure it as well as anything ceritified is tracked 24/7. You do NOT necessarily have to pay for return receipt. You can actually get that (for a few extra bucks) if someone claims they have NOT received package. I never ship a loose coin. Even the cheapest is in a 2x2. I generally tape the 2x2 to any correspondence then secure between cardboard. I have sold a lot of "cheap" coins this way and sent via regular mail. Shipping is cheap (which the buyer like) and if someone says it did not arrive I'll refund all of the money or replace. Never had that happen yet.[/QUOTE]
