<p>[QUOTE="dltsrq, post: 4705063, member: 75482"]My shipping experience is mostly with USPS and I understand other carriers sometimes have their own interpretation and implementation of regulations. That being said, the prohibition of "coins" generally refers to legal tender only. Antique coins constitute a different legal category and will normally be specifically mentioned if prohibited. I usually write "numismatic item for study". Insurance and excellent online tracking are essential. The third-party online insurer insurepost dot com is inexpensive and their terms explicitly <u>include</u> coverage for "collectible coins". I always use those two words on their insurance declaration. Personally, I avoid shipping to Latin America these days. I had a few problems years ago and with potential customers from the region being so few, I decided to save myself the worry. For Latin America broadly speaking, I would be more concerned with sticky fingers than with fine points of regulation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
