[QUOTE="davidh, post: 2778173, member: 15062"]Not to beat a dead horse but I'm wondering about the envelope you used to send the coin. Was it a regular #6 or #10 white envelope or a 6"x9" manila envelope? These envelopes MUST be flexible enough to go through the processing machinery which includes being able to bend a tight radius. A chunk of metal the size of a silver dollar WILL damage the envelope and kick it out of the process. An envelope damaged this was can easily lose the contents. As far as using those types of envelopes, how they're addressed determines how they're processed. If they're addressed in the "normal" way with the envelope horizontal (wider than high) and the postage on the upper right corner, they'll be sent through the automatic machinery. On the other hand (especially for the 6"x9" manila envelope) if they're oriented vertically (higher than wide) they'll be hand processed. The only envelopes I use for items < $25 are the 6"x9" envelopes, either padded ones, or plain ones with a thin cardboard insert to stiffen it. Everything > $25 goes in a flat rate envelope.[/QUOTE]
