Submission question..

ElKevvoElKevvo Posts: 4,199 ✭✭✭✭✭

OK don't laugh...all of my other submissions have been in OGP so this is the first time I have submitted anything raw. I have put my coins in mylar flips, taped the labels on etc. How do I keep the coins from banging around in the mail or sliding out of the flips? Do I fold the flips and maybe tape them all together or ?? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    I normally fold the flips, then rubber band groups of 10 together. They like it if they are banded in order by line number.

    Just do your best; online form is easier than ever, better than NGC, receiving does a great job.

    Put 2 flips in a Safe-T- Mailer and wrap the mailers in bubble wrap and put them in a box

    1 or 2 coins i tape the flip shut and then tape it to the order sheet before placing it in the envolope. More than 2 and i rubberband them.

    Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc

    Thanks for all of the suggestions. I ended up putting the flips in folding cardboard holders, 3 to holder and then wrote the line #'s on the outside of the cardboard in addition to having the stickers on the flips. All is packed up well and on the way!

    We'll see how it goes...7 of the 8 coins were cracked out of 3rd tier TPG holders (PCI and an NNC) and the 8th was an Vermont commen which may / may not grade due to overdipping...which I forgot to check on the submission form to slab it as genuine. Oh well...maybe next time!

    I'll post the results here when they come in...good or bad! Should be interesting and hopefully my pride will not be hurt too badly. :)
