What is the best way to ship and insure 40-45 slabs?

I need to ship and insure somewhere between 40 and 45 PCGS slabs in one package.

What is the best and/or most cost effective way to do this?

Thanks!

    The approximate value is what?
  • The safest way to send them is registered. May not be the most cost effective depending on the value.
    But if safety is as important to you as the insurance coverage go registered.

    I would ship them insured in (2) Pcgs storage boxes in a flat rate, priority, U.S.P.S. box. image

    Registered. Or hand delivered.
    I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.

  • Depending on value I would go with Registered mail. Just see if the post office has a box that you can use or you can purchase boxes at most office supply stores. I put the slabs in PCGS slab boxes then put the boxes in the cardboard box surrounded with packing peanuts.

    Priority flat rate registered.

  • Registered Mail, period. Risk of loss about zero.

    Use registered mail. I believe the maximum insurance for one package is $25,000.
    All glory is fleeting.

    Ok, Thanks guys. Forgot to say that the value would be about $4500.

    Love your handle. String one or two sentences together and you look like an overachiever. image

    What Russ said.

    Priority usually shortens delivery time and registered means completely safe.
