To me it sounds like the guy is not a true coin collector and so would not think of carefully packing the coin. I once received a coin in a small envelope that was torn by the PO sorting machine and the coin loosely wrapped in plastic and taped to the inside of the envelope. Anybody could have just poked their fingers in and take the coin. I wrote the guy a note about it and he thanked me. He said he did not know as he was not a coin collector. Decided not to leave any feedback.

Here's what I wrote to the seller.

Thank you for the coin. I have left positive feedback for you.

I did want to make a comment about the packaging. I received the coin loose in the envelope with just a sheet of folded notebook paper. It would have been easy for a large coin like this to have slid around, damaged the envelope and fallen out. I've had that happen with other sellers who just put coins in envelopes. I would encourage you to put coins in some sort of cardboard holder and tape that holder to the paper so they don't run the risk of being lost.

I heard back from the seller. Here's what she said:

"I agree. I asked my husband to mail it for me and he was supposed to buy a padded shipping envelope but he couldn't find what I was speaking of. Sorry glad you like the coin."

I think this all worked out for the best. Thanks again for all the advice that was shared.
