I have to agree with Conder101. With USPS Registered mail you would have to sign for the package. My experience with UPS or FED X is they usually will just leave a package on your front porch. So many thefts have happened do to that.

10-15 lbs? I have individual binders that almost weigh that much.

Take them with you, as long as your rig is in decent shape breaking down shouldn't be a big worry. As far as thieves go, don't leave anything in sight that would temp them to break in. Put your coins (in a container) on the floor behind your seat, throw a blanket over them and some wrappers from McDonald's or wherever you like to go..lol If anyone does break in that's the last place they'll check..

I just reviewed the USPS website instructions for filing a claim for insurance loss. Either a receipt of purchase or a statement of value from a reputable dealer is needed to collect on a claim.

Has anyone ever collected on a claim which had to have a "Statement of value from a reputable dealer?

I don't know what kind of coins you have but regardless of condition my main concern having someone else ship them would be the handling. I have seen videos of delivery people just tossing packages around not caring if it got damaged or not. For peace of mind I would travel with the coins just so I knew they would be handled with the care I would want them to receive.

If I to had ship them I would choose USPS Registered Mail so a signature would be needed and I would use lots of bubble wrap. Breaking the shipment into smaller boxes might be a good way to go since it would be unlikely for all the packages to be lost and it would be easier to protect the coins.

As for making a claim, I have always gotten what I ordered online (not just coins) and have been fortune enough to not have to.
