<p>[QUOTE="Travlntiques, post: 2153205, member: 39129"]I was very fortunate, for the past 4 years my letter carrier was also a coin collector.

I trust the USPS and have seen odd things happen that were resolved quickly enough. One time I had a coin come to my local P.O. then get routed to the next county and be sent "out for delivery" for some reason. But it wasn't delivered to that random stranger in Cherry Valley (thank goodness), it was sent back to my town and finally delivered. That happened once with a coin I sold as well! I'm not sure exactly what would have happened if those 24 hours had past after your Morgan Dollar was marked as not deliverable, and I hope it wasn't an attempted theft, but I know that happens too.</p><p>We have a new letter carrier now, but I think Jeff keeps an eye on him for me at the office......hehehe.

It's more fun to give a few $20's around holidays than have a few $100+++ coins go missing.[/QUOTE]
