<p>[QUOTE=&quot;NPCoin, post: 1117772, member: 5629&quot;]I am not sure what you mean by &quot;the current USPS rules for shipping money&quot;, but you are rather limited in your choices if the coin truly is selling for as high you you state.&nbsp; The individual prohibitions and restrictions are not enacted by the USPS, but they are the enactment of the destination country&#039;s customs laws.&nbsp; When agreeing to ship a coin to another country, you have to read the customs requirements very carefully first.</p><p><br /></p><p>You should read the Country Conditions for Mailing to <a href="http://pe.usps.gov/search/jsp/search/vv_docread.jsp?k2dockey=http%3A%2F%2Fpe.usps.com%2Ftext%2Fimm%2Fce_020.htm%40PE_IMM_HTML_5&amp;serverSpec=56.0.145.56:9920&amp;QueryParser=Simple&amp;querytext=%28denmark%29&amp;dtype=2#hit0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://pe.usps.gov/search/jsp/search/vv_docread.jsp?k2dockey=http%3A%2F%2Fpe.usps.com%2Ftext%2Fimm%2Fce_020.htm%40PE_IMM_HTML_5&amp;serverSpec=56.0.145.56:9920&amp;QueryParser=Simple&amp;querytext=%28denmark%29&amp;dtype=2#hit0" rel="nofollow">Denmark</a> to see what I mean.&nbsp; Looking at Denmark&#039;s prohibitions and restrictions, coins are not mentioned at all.&nbsp; So that leaves you with four basic choices for mailing:&nbsp; First Class International Parcel, Priority Mail International, Express mail International, and Global Express Guaranteed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, as far as I can see, there is no insurance available with First Class International to Denmark. Furthermore, the maximum value that can even be sent is $400.&nbsp; When looking at the Express Mail International choice, it becomes apparent that coins are not allowed to be sent through that service.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, that leaves GXG and Priority.&nbsp; When we look at the insurance options for Priority, we see that there is a $650 maximum insurance limit, which your coin is obviously much more than that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your only choice is Global Express Guarantee, which you can insure for up to $2,499.&nbsp; If the coin does not sell for too much more than you have indicated, then you should be able to send shipped and insured for just under $100.&nbsp; Make sure to read all of the packaging and customs forms requirements (duplicate invoices, placement thereof, etc) to make sure all is kosher through customs.</p><p><br /></p><p>As far as what to declare it as, &quot;numismatic specimen&quot; works well.&nbsp; However, some countries have more stringent rules through customs, so there are no guarantees the package will not be investigated.&nbsp; However, the upside is that if the package does not arrive by its &quot;guaranteed&quot; date, you get your postage back. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
