<p>[QUOTE="DJP7x0s, post: 1672387, member: 5336"]I have not mailed anything to canada in a few years. But I used to do exactly what your proposing about splitting the shipment into seperate packages. If they are low value coins, stick 3 coins in a 3x5 letter envelope, sandwiched between index cards. I usually use two index cards on each side, 4 total. I feel as though thats ample protection, and have mailed thousands of coins this way, and have never had a problem, or complaint. But try this and deffinately call it a correspondance at the post office. They nail you with much higher fees if its anything other than correspondance. And to get an idea, I was always able to mail up to 5 lincoln cents per envelope, before the weight went over and required an extra stamp and the post office started to question if it was really just paperwork.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
