    I ship in a Priority Mail box with the packing arranged to keep the slab in the middle.

    I am amazed at some of the slabs that made it to me without damage. Especially the ones that arrive in a simple envelope and nothing else.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    :# ...........For $10 or less coin. Use large envelope with bubble wrap 10-$200. Priority box above 200 :)

    Your choices do not cover what most do when they ship. Safetmailer for me. Then they go inside a box if it/they are expensive.

    @1630Boston I remember that topic!

    At least two layers of bubble wrap to make my package more than 3/4" thick. Have never had one damaged and have received many "overpacked" responses in feedback.

    Slab inside a small bubble mailer, inside of a stiff cardboard mailer.

    So your the guy. I was cussing out an eBay seller just last week. It took me 5 minutes to get all the crap off that he wrapped the coin in. I contemplated leaving a negative for lost time!

    I put the coin in a small bubble mailer. Then place the bubble mailer inside a Priority Mail box.

    Never had a problem, but I don't ship that many single coins.

    I got an e-Bay feedback one time of 'nice coin but uses too much tape.'

    I've seen too much tape before :smile:
    It just adds to the anticipation [frustration] of getting to the goods inside :smile:
    It doesn't bother me

    Here's last weeks comment: Very nice proof quarter. Highly over-packaged, though. Pleased with the quality.

    I put the slab in a penny sleeve, use bubble wrap and depending on the value I use a bubble envelope or a box.

    I wasn't too happy about the used McDonalds cup that the seller used for packaging not too long ago for a purchase.

    Save a slab! Ship in a ziplock!

    I certainly appreciate the time and effort that some put into shipping me my coins, but Damn, do I really need to waste 30 minutes opening a package, just to open another package, just to spend more time unwrapping a half roll of tape?


    Later, Paul.

    I use a bubble zip-lock sleeve to send out my wares, unless it is to CAC, then I ship 'em out in a Blue PCGS box with a thin layer of foam to prevent them from rattling enroute. Wrapped up in more bubble wrap.

    I voted for the ziploc...since no choice covered my method. I wrap the slab in bubble wrap, enough to make a very snug fit in a priority mail box, securely taped. Cheers, RickO

    Like this. I rarely sell, but when I do it's going to be secure.

    I used to put them in Safe-T-Mailers, which is what I still do with coins in flips or 2x2s. But I had two instances where the s;abs in Safe-T-Mailers arrived at my customers damaged, by the Post Office's automatic machinery, I assume. I now put them in a box I buy in bulk from U-Line, with wadded up yellow pages protecting the slab within the box. I've had no problems with this method.

    Some stuff goes in Safe-T-Mailers™, wrapped in bubble wrap, put in a padded mailer. Other stuff in boxes of various sizes, packed with fill so that they're silent when shaken, with the seams taped up. Nothing inside the box has tape on it except for a slab box lid. Rubber bands only. I'm not a fan of putting a knife close to my or others' coins to extricate them from an over-zealous use of tape.
