Just received my Morgan and Peace Dollar orders. 1 of the 4 came in the usual box, but 3 came in black bubble bags. even though I knew what they were, still had to open one with 'what did they really ship to me?'. Has anyone else had orders shipped with these bags??? No opinion yet on how, or if I do, like it.

I'll come up with something.

    Was the bubble mailer sealed with tape? If so, was it clear tape or the new brown tape?

    Seriously though, I had a couple items ship in the bubble mailer, maybe a year ago. If I remember correctly, they were also Morgan and Peace dollars. I was not a fan. One of the boxes was a bit beat up, although the coin was fine. I don't feel the bubble mailer offers the same protection of the boxes.

    Since no one has answered your question yet, I will - there’s a decent chance that you’re not the only one.

    It looks like this. No tape on the flap, just the adhesive.

    Absolutely no tape whatsoever, exactly the same as zride3 posted. Thanks for [posting that! I was away from laptop since posting

    I'll come up with something.

    Maybe the tape was too expensive and the black bubble bags are really cheap? I have yet to get anything in a bag yet...still the little boxes...and tape...lots of tape.

    My EU Peace showed up today in the black bag. My 2 EU Morgans arrived today in the usual box but with the fancy tape.

    I will not be pleased if my BoM shows up in the black bag.

    In November 2024 the Mint mailed out a bunch of Flowing Hair Silver Medals in white bubble mailers.

    Similar complaints then, like we have today.

    I think the Mint ran low on boxes then, and now, and they'll be back soon enough.

    Imagine how many boxes that they've been shipping out the last several months, 100's of thousands. Staggering...

    The "Black Bag" has arrived. Looks like they're going to be everywhere...without tape...

    Is the product inside undamaged with these black bags?

    The box inside is also bubble-wrapped. It was not damaged. The coins look great.

    Good to hear! I saw a post that some Uncirculated Sets had been crushed in this packaging, so good to know single coins are arriving in fine shape!

    Those large bubble envelopes can make it harder to damage the coin than the corrugated boxes

    That was definitely a concern in high school.

    The first one is free. The rest will cost you.

    And you'd think the price of the plastic would be rising with the price of oil. :D
