My poor 1803 Large Cent survived over 200 years for this?  Good thing it's low grade and I have acetone handy  The seller must not be a "coin person."   Edited by edweather

I had a seller send me an 1869 Indian Head I won in an auction in a regular business envelope. No paperwork, no packaging, just a $80 penny rolling around in a first class envelope.

Funny thing is the seller got indignant when I emailed him to complain. "That's the way I ship 'em all!" He said.

Did he mention in the listing that he ships them like that?

I've received $200 coins just tossed in a small padded envelope.

Makes me wish it were possible to deliver a slap across TCP/IP.

The sad part is, it looks like he took care and packed it very carefully and solidly. He obviously has no numismatic clue.

Consider yourself lucky. He could have glued or taped it to a piece of raw wood or something like that.

Yea, I sent the seller a message, and they were receptive. At least there was no damage.

I know I would not be happy. I would have to dong the seller
a little on the feedback.

I've gotten them where the coin is actually sticking half way out of the envelope.

yeah, it looks like he did take the time to do the right thing, but made it so much worse in the process. Hopefully the seller takes any advice you gave him/her to heart for future packages.
