[QUOTE="bg35765, post: 1927013, member: 42710"]If you do read everything you will see that[U] ebay's USPS insurance will not cover coins[/U]. The same insurance bought through usps.com instead of ebay does not have that exclusion, but there is different fine print to worry about there. It says a "negotiable item" can only be insured up to $15.00. In past cases they have said that bullion coins are negotiable. So they will only pay $15 on a $50 gold buffalo proof worth $2,000 even though they charged more than $15 for the insurance itself! ShipCover does not insure coins, so that is not an option either. Registered mail is the only way to go. It is a PITA, but everything else ranges from a waste of money to outright fraud on ebay's part. (They sell insurance for an excluded item even though they know the entire ebay category is excluded based on their policies.)[/QUOTE]
