So I noticed something with my recent coin shipments. Normally, I don't buy tracking for the cheaper coins I ship, but I still notice my receipt includes a PID#. And sure enough, when I go to USPS tracking, the package has been tracked the whole way--but without paying that $1 fee. Have others noticed this--is buying tracking even necessary?

It goes up to $3 something if over an ounce like a padded 000.
I throw a Styrofoam peanut in there because I want tracking..makes it thick enough.
I don't send any coins without it. Too many people saying they never received.

Yeah, if I'm not mistaken, even up to 3 ounces it's $2.32.

It makes a difference if you buy postage from ebay, online, or at the post office.
