With the way USPS is currently I'd also suggest considering buying enough insurance. If you would have a claim the rock collection may not be a good idea.

That's true Davef. Good thinking. I hadn't thought of that.
Edit: That being said let's go full 180. Have whoever is shipping them to you take pictures of everything and like Davef said be sure to insure appropriately.

Pretty easy stuff , reduce the size by tossing the binders ,
Roll all the coins up , purchase USPS Priority box of
appropriate size . Tape up your secure package .
Find a post office , buy insurance with signature .
Then mail ....not rocket science!

well, actually, registered mail is the ONLY insurance you can get for coins, bullion, and money in general---regular insurance does NOT cover coins, bullion, etc---

here's the other part of that reply of telling them it is your rock collection...if it does get lost you will have to supply PROOF OF VALUE so if you tell them something which is not true then you will NOT be able to file a claim if it does get lost---trust me, I know those regulations well!!

Have them shipped in a Priority flat rate large box (up to 70 lbs), tape the box sufficiently with clear shipping tape and then tape all seams with brown shipping tape. Send via usps registered mail/insured. Will be there in several days. Cost = flat rate priority plus registered plus insurance. No biggie. I just sent a box out this way.

Would be advantageous to have a good sense for coin condition. If any are rather $$$$$$$$, lumping a bulky lot in a box may increase risk of damage--pack accordingly. May want to break the shipment into two boxes--20lbs is a lot of weight when sharing a confined space with 2x2s. If none of the coins are irreplaceable, no sweat.

To clarify Hunte611's comment about the brown tape, It has to be paper tape. No
labels or sticker on box, hand written ink on box for address. The brown paper tape
must cover all other tape, and must cover all seams.
