I know the proper way to ship various grades/values of coins. Been doing it several times a week for years. But, not being familiar with the proper way to ship various tokens; I don't want to be neg'd for incorrect packaging. I've found some folks want 2x2's, some want a handful in an envelope. Waddaya think? These are primarily trans. tokens from 1900-1950.

What condition and what kind of volume?
If volume is high enough then how about nickel tubes? 2x2's would be the dummy proof safe way to ship unless volume is not cost effective. All stems back to volume and condition to justify proper method. Just me, I would opt for 2x2 just because all coins/tokens should be handled with love, not a shovel. Besides you never know who is receiving. Perhaps they will really appreciate the 2x2's.

the 2x2's somehow give some level of importance to the token, somewhat like being "dressed up" for the occasion, if they are worth enough to ship, go for the 2x2's, & avoid the shovel
