Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 03/01/2012 10:22 pm Thank you so very much. I have so much to learn about coins....but I am tickled pink with my new 10 pence. I honestly picked it just because it had a cat -- well, a lion, on it and he is gorgeous. I really do feel like I'm being pulled to the dark side..... Report this Post to the Staff

biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 03/06/2012 05:16 am Quote: In my case, the local PO told me a single coin (0.4 oz total), mailed in a standard envelope to Canada, is a "package" and subject to $3 postage--a rather crazy interpretation of their rates. My solution was to include the coin inside a letter, and pay the usps letter rate to Canada ($0.85)--a saner interpetation if you ask me. Merchandise is parcel, letter is sheets of paper. Heard of saf-t-mailers? Make your own. Ask the supermarket or drive-thru to save you the one-sided corrugated paper they use for displays. Cut it a little smaller than the envelope and almost twice as tall, put coin, loose or in 2x2, on the wavy side, fold over and staple close enuf that the coin can't shift. you can put three coins across in a large envelope. coin can't move or tear out of envelope coin is cushioned envelope is pretty evenly thick, so nothing to catch Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/06/2012 09:33 am Boggfredd, Thanks for the advice--I've got the shipping side to coins well-covered. In the case of this giveaway, I wanted a cheaper method--and I found it. Edited by DVCollector 03/06/2012 09:34 am Report this Post to the Staff
