I had this coin go missing during mailing it to Poland. Tracking ends in Warsaw. Was sold on ebay for over $4000.

Mailed from London Ontario. Canada post & no insurance. Just as the buyer wanted but she paid threw Paypal. The coin was never signed for. I did send her another item before that one and it also was never signed for and she got it. I don't know what it is with Polish postal service not taking signatures.

Insurance protects the sender (you), not the receiver.

He wanted less expensive mail so I did it as a favor. Yes, I'm on the hook. My mistake my loss. Hopefully I will find it someday.

You need to buy insurance for your own peace of mind. No need to pass that cost on the the buyer. It is a part of doing business.

I've learned that the hard way. Now hopefully time will find the coin. Please keep your eyes out at auctions / stores / shows just in case I miss it.

You may have been scammed. The buyer tests you out with one purchase, then they hit you on the second one. Was the first purchase a big value item like the second? You did say it was the same buyer, correct?
