kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 02/13/2015 09:45 am What is the best way, also the cheapest way to ship in the United states, let's say a Lincoln Cent, also a roll of lincoln cents? Last time I sold a coin on ebay, I came out losing money L. After bubble mailer cost plus shipping cost etc. I checked older posts on CCF, but most of those are from years ago. Plus everyone has conflicting information. Edited by kurdlezuit 02/13/2015 09:50 am Report this Post to the Staff

Remember I believe they also give you $50 free insurance coverage. If you are not satisfied with that then there are other options for shipping elsewhere. Report this Post to the Staff
BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4596 Posts	Posted 02/13/2015 5:39 pm USPS insurance covers numismatic items, not bullion. UPS and FedEx do not cover coins - you need private insurance. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff

OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 02/13/2015 10:41 pm The discount on first class is the same as you'd get from the USPS website. If you are a top rated seller, you get commplus pricing which isn't all that much better for first class, but a lot better for priority mail. For anything under 13 ounces, first class is cheapest if you are not concerned about insurance. Add insurance and you'll be close to the priority mail price. If you aren't concerned about tracking, a single coin can be shipped in a stamped envelope. Technically you aren't supposed to mail anything in a letter with uneven thickness, but if you put a couple sheets of paper in with the coins, you should be ok. Report this Post to the Staff
