I've lived in Hawaii for about 3.5 years now cause my wife is in the army.. since I started purchasing coins I've had issues with opened/damaged packages, empty packages and missing packages....
today I received a envelope that was supposed to hold a 1850 braided hair copper.. but it was empty, the envelope was cut and the coin was taken out of the hole they cut in the end... I have reported this problem all the way to the post master generals office in DC which ill have to do again Monday...
I just want to warn anyone shipping to or from Hawaii to get a tracking number and insurance on your package.. I'm out 18.00 for the coin but its the principle... thanks for listening.... PEACE..
