<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Vertigo, post: 24554142, member: 118430&quot;]One thing to do is completely encase whatever envelope you are sending in clear packaging tape. Paper will rip in the sorters. Also, i know it costs more, but I always use the flat rate Postal boxes that are designed for the sorters. Your own box,&nbsp; if it is a different size might get caught or destroyed. I then, completely seal that box with strapping tape. I even go the extra mile and use strapping tape on the seams on the inside of the box. Overkill? Maybe? But with things like this photo the extra mile is extra insurance. This had about a 50 dollar kennedy half inside. It was a ddo or tdo or something. 66 or 67. Nothing major. But a little extra tape would have gotten this to me i believe. This seller refunded no problem but it was a loss to him. </p><p>Also, I use a pobox because I live in an apartment building. Mail gets crossed into other boxes. In my building a package getting in another box will be marked as delivered but perhaps not to my box. The inhabitants of my building seem like a lot of the less than honest type. They open the package, even by mistake the delivered coin is gone forever. And then someone knows I&#039;m a collector and I could become a target for robbery. My pobox isn&#039;t even in the town I live in. It is in another small town 30 minutes away because I was living there when I got it. I leave it there too. Once a package was sent to a wrong box number and they wrote on the package the right one because they know me there and know my box number and put it in my box. And the extra mile saved me. Even in this town if the package made it to the wrong box most of the people in the town would likely take it right in the post office and tell them, this isn&#039;t mine. The city i live in not so much trust...</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1554459[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1554460[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
