In a few months I will be in Bangkok. I have a silver coin given by my mother and I would really like to value it. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to do this in Russia, or it costs a lot of money (logistics, dealer services and appraisal company services) and amounts to a round sum. I'd like to try to do this directly. Give your coin to a person in Bangkok, he will send it for evaluation, and the company, when sending the coins back, will send it not to Bangkok but to me in Russia. Is this possible? Or will it also cost a decent amount?

P.S. The coin is not very valuable. This is a regular 1 oz silver coin.

Not knowing the Russian mail service,would you even get the coin back?
If you want it graded,post good photos here on CCF and then put it in an Air-Tite capsule.

If it has sentimental value to you I would not risk sending it thru mail services that you are unsure of, or do not have confidence in. Once it's gone you could lose it forever and forever is a very long time.

Air tite capsule and call it good.

The Russian Post is quite reliable. If the coin is evaluated in China or Europe, then there should be no problems with delivery. But it is possible that the parcel from China will take longer than usual. I don't know why, but China Post is quite slow. I have friends in Europe and the USA, but they definitely won't help me in this matter. The only way they can help me is to act as intermediaries in the delivery of the parcel
I really want to put a coin in PCGS or NGC.
