I now have two more coin packages to ship to Canada. The first I gave a value of $20; the second, when I have the other coins to put in it, I will value at $60. Should to spring for any postage extras on these?

I wouldnt bother with insurance for either but especially not the 20. The 60 Id get tracking, probably the 20 too depending on the cost. Things magically disappear in customs or along the way for international when they read the customs form and see no tracking

Just realize the tracking may end once it leaves the country. Typically insurance purchase from a postal service is only good while the mail is in the hands of that service. once it get handed off to another countries postal service the coverage you bought ends. You can have a coin worth $10K, and ship it registered paying for that amount, but once it leaves the country the MAXIMUM reimbursement from the post office if it disappears is 49 dollars.

Not sure if the policy has changed but in the past I know it was possible to get tracking all the way through. Weather that meant their number was tracked the whole way or you got two tracking numbers I dont know. There is by default free tracking on the shipment from the customs form but once its about to leave the country thats it. But they do have options to have it tacked all the way there.
