<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MargaretA, post: 1483527, member: 38733&quot;]Thank you, that was helpful. I was already thinking about using padded (bubble) envelopes; I&#039;ve used them for other things and really like them. I just didn&#039;t know what to put the coin in before it went in the padded envelope, and it looks like people are using different things - some of which I think I can do.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the envelope terms are confusing me, though. What is an &quot;000&quot;? When I try to search for that I just get standard envelope sites. Also, some of the Kennedy halves I found were in little transparent - I would call it &quot;glassine&quot; - envelopes. They seemed to be fairly protective, because those Kennedies were in really good shape, but I don&#039;t think they&#039;d be very sturdy for shipping. The idea of using something stiffer, like poster board or even cardboard, around the coin is appealing. But will it damage the coin, even for the short time it would be in it (for shipping)? Would I need to look for something non-acidic, like the scrapbookers use?</p><p><br /></p><p>Meg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
