    It is actually the soap box that posed the greatest risk of damage to your coin due to residual molecules of the soap product. Be grateful that there was one more barrier between it and your coin. Hyper sensitive individuals cannot even walk down a soap aisle in a supermarket without their respiratory systems reacting to the "gassing" of chemicals from the soap products.

    I'm not worried about what soap will do to gold. I'm worried about what all diseases this weirdo has and possibly transferred to the condom box while he was getting the condoms out.

    I would never use a condom containing mercury which is toxic. :o

    I wouldn't complain about it. Many years ago, someone I used to know got mad at someone and actually sent him a t u r d in the mail. He didn't realize that it was a felony to do so at the time.

    Sounds gross but bacteria that cause STD need 80% temperature and moisture and it really works out that your kitchen faucet and saliva (many fewer pathogens than other bodily fluids) are more of a health hazard.

    Even so, the thought of your delivery is pretty gross

    If not for the fact that you already had a history with the coin I would have been worried that he was subtly telling you that you got screwed on the deal.

    I think it was a hint that he thought HE got screwed. But maybe I am looking into it too much. But then again, WHY would anyone ship that way?!

    Now, every time you look at this coin you will think about...........
    You must sell it.
    Or, better yet, return it to seller.
    You have 14 days to think about what kinds of boxes you may want to use.

    Hope it wasn't ribbed as that would surely put a rub on the coin

    Well, you usually only get condoms out when you are um.... in the process? So ya, I would say there was a good chance it was dirty.

    Unless you could prove that the box was contaminated, there is probably no restriction for sending the empty box any more than there would be for sending something in an empty box that once had a tube of toothpaste in it. Of course sending the used "item" would be something different. I expect that some send "used" underclothing though the mail all of the time.

    Did I really need to put the word "unused" in there?

    Let's see... 1000 boxes, that's 12,000 condoms... Sheesh. That's take me more than 3 years to collect that many used condom boxes... (And yes, that's a joke too, for the humor impaired. Once a knight, always a knight but twice a night might kill me...)
