The medium flatrate box is like $10 or something but there is so much extra room, it seems to big for one box of pennies. but the small flatrate box seems to small. anyone here have experience just shipping one box of pennies. I shipped 3 boxes in a medium box.

cheaper way to ship a $25 penny box?

Sorry, but the best way I know is a medium flat rate.I usually sell $100 FV because of that. A small flat rate will only hold about $15 FV by volume so that doesn't work.I would make a box for the $25, take it to the Post Office and ask them.My postal clerk has been very helpful when it comes to that.

Too bad you can't go international with those flat rate boxes (at least I'm assuming you can't). I've love to pay someone in Canada to send me cent/nickel boxes to me in the US.

You can go international but the weight limit is horrible (like 4 pounds) unless for sending metal (or rocks :)

i sold like $70 face value of copper cents in the meium and itt worked out. but now I am selling a $25 box of 2011 d shield cents. I guess i'll have to do the medium box because if I go by weight it will be way more than $10.
