I need to send a couple of coins to the US for appraisal, the coins will be returned after a short time. My question is, what if any is the import duty going into the US for silver coins. The insured value is going to be £250. TIA Gary

Was the full value declared though?
Well, just Love coins, period.
FedEx handles brokering your package if so required, but the post office does not. If you ship via the post office and Customs impounds your package because it needs formal entry, they will send you a letter so stating. It will be up to the recipient to hire the broker or handle the paperwork himself.
As always, YMMV.
