<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 304137, member: 1242&quot;]clembo,</p><p><br /></p><p>You got that right! Most of them are unaware that the USPS is not supposed to pay on any Claims for Damaged, Lost or Stolen Coins unless they were sent via Registered Mail! You can call the USPS Hotline and they will advise you of the USPS&#039; Policy and Rules concerning the shipping of Coins. In some cases, if the loss is not very significant, most Post Offices will submit the Claim and you are reimbursed for the loss. Claims on Damaged, lost or Stolen Coins are a nightmare on Elm Street per say, as they usually want pictures of the coins and for you to obtain a Pre-Shipping Appraisal (what the coin were worth when they were shipped and based on the pictures) (unless they were previously appraised) from a Coin Dealer that is Certified to do so. Also, it&#039;s even worse when it comes to coins that were damaged in shipment as they will want a Pre-Shipping and Post-Shipping appraisal. I know because I lost a bundle on a Morgan Dollar Collection that was damaged when it was shipped to me! Since both appraisals would have cost me $200 or more, I just said they H$*&amp; with it and ate the loss! When I purchased them and before they were shipped, there were only a couple of AU/BU Morgans in the Collection with the majority of them going MS-62 to MS-64 with three that ranged from MS-65 to very close to MS-67. However, something punctured the shipping box and released 8 of the coins from there plastic air-tight holders and they ran amuck in the box, damaging each other and the other holders as well. Needless to say, the 8 coins were all trashed and wouldn&#039;t you know, included the highest grade coins in the Collection with most of them being reduced to EF/AU.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
