How do you ship coins?

[J.Cordeiro]

You get many different answers for this question, but I like Priority mail and Priority mail Flat Rate. The post office will mail you the boxes for free and if you [-- login to view link --] your own labels, the U.S.Post Office will pick the packages up from your place and ship them out instead of you having to run down to the post office.

If I am shipping out a single coin, I put it in either a cardboard 2x2 or a very small 2x2 ?zip-lock? type baggie, wrap that in bubble wrap, and finally place it in the shipping box with either shredded newspaper or crumpled up newspaper.

DO NOT LET THE COINS RUB UP AGAINST EACH OTHER!
Also, not only should you not hear coins rattling around when you shake the box, you should hear nothing.

The same principle applies to any number of coins. If you ship bulk, they should all go in what ever appropriate sized ?zip-lock?, tape the bag tightly onto itself, wrap in bubble wrap?etc,etc.

It may sound like a pain, by customers like me really appreciate receiving their coins in very secure condition.

You also have the option of insurance and package tracking. Priority Mail International shipping is automatically insured up to a certain amount but as far as package tracking in some countries?.forget about it.

I do not like the small bubble wrap envelopes; there small size worries me about getting misplaced too easily. If you are going to use them, I would suggest the 8x11 inch size (or there abouts.)

You have many different options in front of you when you stop and think about it.

You will never get repeat business if you throw an unprotected
coin into a regular envelope and mail it off, also, do not be surprised by the negative feedback and poor word of mouth it would generate.
