If you're putting anything of greater value than $800 in the US mail why not go registered insured, it is the cheapest and safest way to mail? Only exception would be those with third party insurance, and those willing to take the risk (self insured in the case of bullion).
As we have seen in the OP, you are wasting your money insuring bullion and not choosing registered mail.

Congrats. Often, if you go to great lengths to learn the game and the rules, you can, by enormous effort, and through layers of bureaucracy, occasionally, if you’re very lucky find someone who will see it the right way and lift a finger to help you. You gotta speak their language and make it easy for them though.
I used a connection from my engineering days to propose a design change to a dangerous intersection near my home. Construction just finished, roughly 5 years after I made the call. There’s nothing like an efficient government to meet the needs of the people.
Wonderful news and well deserved! Always good to hear when something like this works out the way it should.
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
Congrats! Way to stick with it. Had a similar insurance situation on a ‘65 Mustang that took letters and proof to show wasn’t a $2,000 car, once.
These wins are very gratifying.

3 months fighting an insurance company over a policy you paid for, to guarantee that their service you paid for works.
at least you were made whole.
So the “snark” on this board also serves a useful purpose!
Nice to learn. 😋
Glad to learn you got made whole as well as to find out there were some holes in the analysis of the “snarkers” who motivated you to go forward.
