... I just tracked my NGC shipment from Florida.

I Live in San Diego.

"They" Sent my package to Los Angeles and then quickly sent it to New York City.

So ... my package has now been to the Two biggest cities with very dense populations and residing is in New York City, the epicenter of Covid-19.

That package is getting gassed with Lysol when it finally arrives. :#

    So there must be other decontamination chemicals. 60% alcohol?, bleach solution? Acetone wipe down? Inquiring minds want to know. Peace Roy

    I think they recommend you then pack the ashes in a lead pipe and bury them at least 12 feet underground !

    After waiting so long ...I wasn't thinking and just opened them. So ... how right you are.

  • ms70ms70 Posts: 13,956 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I would just spray each layer as I open it with isopropyl alcohol until I get to the prize.... and then spray that too.

    I have a coin coming too and that is my plan.

    Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

    I just ordered more 5 NGC plastic boxes as they are still open. Hope they ship out today ;)

    I had a shipment from PCGS that went to Guam and Hawaii on it's way to me. My last package to PCGS went to New York (normally it would go to Denver)

    If it ends up in italy or spain id leave it alone or collect the insurance. Fwiw

    Speaking only for myself... I wouldn’t worry about it. I’m getting packages of every sort this week including one tomorrow or the day after with a couple of coins. If I were to take precautions, I would open the boxes as normal, take the items out and wash my hands. Or, if I’m feeling very nervous for some odd reason, I’d just wear some latex gloves and open everything and dispose of the gloves.

    That should do it. Your chances of getting the virus from a coin in a slab is slim to none.

    It is the outside packaging that concerns me so it will be disinfected.

    Most likely 91% alcohol the slab as well to be safe.

    I open as normal, throw away packaging. Wipe down with an antibacterial wipe, wash hands and done. That being said, I am currently under quarantine ( I work EMS ) so maybe you shouldn't listen to me. LOL

    Doesn't the Postal Service still irradiate everything like they did after the Anthrax attacks after 9/11?
