I ship USPS several times a week, and just so everyone knows every 1st class package (other than letters) will have a tracking number already. If you look on your receipt from the post office, it is right on it. Do not pay extra for tracking, it's a scam by the Post Office. I had to tell the Postal workers at my local branch that those numbers on the receipt are tracking numbers and they didn't believe me. Trust me, they do work and you can track them right on their website. Also of note if you ship anything Priority mail, you automatically get $50 of insurance on your item as long as you pack it properly. Brian

I personally would use UPS instead of USPSfor more expensive coins and they automatically come with $100 in insurance.


How much is priority mail though? I have used priority mail before to ship bulk v-nickels but it is good to know they were automatically insured. They lose it, they have to pay for it in that case. I think the main issue is first class package. I have gotten packages a few weeks later all mangled. Priority mail small padded envelope is $5.95. If you're coin sold for $10, you need to charge $6 shipping. I bring my packages to the post office and they accept it. If there was a foreseen problem, wouldn't they let me know? I can print another label and start again. If they lose my package, it will cost them more in shipping charges they will lose. I can simply create a lot of $10 coins till they equal $100 and shipping them UPS. Another option is go to my local coin show. I have took coins I bought there and they offered me what I paid for them.
