<p>[QUOTE=&quot;benveniste, post: 1209348, member: 25547&quot;]I&#039;m not sure it should be.&nbsp; I got stuck for all of about $15 plus the loss of my money for a few months in 2002.&nbsp; I&#039;ve sent perhaps 40 coins out for slabbing since then without any issue, nor have I had any issues with USPS when buying or selling coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>So relax, &quot;trust but verify.&quot;&nbsp; Document your purchases and if possible photograph your coins before handing them over to any common carrier.&nbsp; I do have a couple of additional advantages, though.&nbsp; I live in a town of 9,000 people, and my bank and post office literally share a building.&nbsp; When sending out valuables, I get the weight of the package on the receipt.&nbsp; When receiving coins, I can walk over to the other side of the building and open and inspect the package in the vault area.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S.&nbsp; In case anyone is wondering about that 1855-D, I did take a picture of the coin, but I should have taken a picture of the slab as well. If someone should happen to see it, please contact the USPS.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]127860.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
