The last 3 coins I received without boxes, but shipped only in vinyl flips, the flips have been broken along at least one edge. I got one of the 'Green Man' coin delivered today - it was loose in the big box, with the flip 'glued' to some advertising. I know eventually, it'll be housed in the proper box, when it arrives with the third coin, but it's a little disconcerting that this $150 coin is just flopping around inside the box during delivery.

Yes, ever since RCM shipps in these flips I found 50% in broken ones. Until now I thought it was because I get the packages combined form a third party. But as it Looks now, it is poor package Quality form RCM Edited by Pixu 04/08/2016 08:29 am Report this Post to the Staff

Dcadon Rest in Peace Canada 1360 Posts	Posted 04/08/2016 09:37 am We used to get individual coins (parts of sets or subscriptions) in cardboard - cut to size packaging. These never failed. I think the 'flips' are just that much cheaper in packaging. And Yet...they ship the single coin, in a full cardboard box - where they used to use padded envelopes. It can't be cheaper in shipping.
