In Most Countries, the Postal Rules say that
coins and valuables should be sent by Insured Mail Only. In case of insurance, the USPS has to refund the insured value.
A very good friend of mine in Florida, who has helped me with 1893-S Morgan has kindly sent a
Prez. Donsco Album with Sacagawea PD Dollars 2001 to 2007 (Got from Mint Sets) and other Prez. Dollars by Insured Parcel.
They were 'Swalloed' by the Postal Thieves., in India.
The same Gentleman has sent me 5 Barber Halves by Registered Post and they were also stolen.
USPS has not reiumbursed the Insured Value to him
Another friend in Florida, got reiumbursement for the coins 'damaged and stolen in California' and returned back to him....adressed to me. This package is only a Registered Mail
