edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7379 Posts	Posted 10/05/2014 10:41 am If I were sending the coin, I would send it USPS first class with tracking and signature confirmation. Insurance would be optional. The other option would be in a Priority Mail small flat rate box. I use the box if it's obvious I'm sending a coin. Would only use registered mail if it was high value.

Tbone Pillar of the Community United States 1839 Posts	Posted 10/17/2014 7:18 pm I guess it depends on your aversion to risk. I sell a lot of coins on ebay and I usually follow these guidelines: Up to $249 value, USPS First class with standard tracking. $250 to $749, USPS First class with signature tracking $750 to $1499, USPS Priority with signature tracking $1500 to $4999, USPS Priority Express with signature tracking and USPS insurance. $5000 or more, USPS Priority, registered and insured.
