it was just a cluster. they are supposed to have caught the person. there haven't been any complaint threads lately.
I used to be famous now I just collect coins.

Any coin/coins worth over 4 numbers (then again, if I get the grades I hope to, it would have been.....), would go Express, or at the very least Registered, but I have had no issues at all using Priority with ins and sig conf, and they get there and in the system within 3-4 days max.

Wasn't the other part of the stolen coins destined to PCGS saga .. that the US post office wasn't honoring insurance claims for coins ?

It was an issue, but I believe Tom got it rectified (not 100% sure, though). Regardless, I have had to file 3 claims with the USPS, one for $1,200, one for $800, and as long as you have documentation on pricing, or, in my case, what I paid ('lost' on their way to me), I had my $$ back, for both, within weeks. Though, I have not lost a package I have sent, so as far as a shipper, I'm not 100% certain.
Tom can better explain how he went about collecting on his shipment to our hosts that got pilfered.

Awesome! Thanks for the tip. It looks like above $10,000 needs to go FedEx or USPS Express??
<< <i>About one and a half years ago lost $3000 in coins going to CAC by Express mail. Everything goes registered now. >>
Oh crap!!! ...was it insured? Did you at least get your $$ for the loss?
People who use FedEx have separate insurance.

It was insured. It took over three months to get the money after I was turned down twice.
I have never used them before, but they look legit.
Daggo, that's aweful. What a pain in the neck!
