Priority mail or express mail (though right now times aren't assured) is much better for that. Declare it as numismatic so they don't get confused that it was cash and use priority or express for it for international and just make sure there aren't country restrictions on the ancient coins. Domestically you should be fine. Declared value use the sale price and your sales receipt will be proof of the value as I have had to make claims with classic us coins before in this manner.
