<p>[QUOTE="green18, post: 1510903, member: 10103"]I agree withe Lee's suggestion. Anything heavy (and rolled coin is heavy) should go into a box. I wrap the roll in a layer of bubble wrap and fill the free space (within the box) with crumpled news paper. I then shake the box to make sure that there is no movement at all within the confines of the box. After that, I seal the box with clear packing tape. I also run an extra few lengths of the tape around the entire box. This adds extra strength to box integrity and insures you that if rough handling is employed by the shipping company, nothing is coming out of that container. One last suggestion.......don't use UPS. They're too danged expensive for small package shipping. The local post office is just fine and if you use those flat rate boxes you can save yourself a few bucks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
