  I havent been able to cover all three of those ideals. Registered mail is the safest way.
  Insured mail is cheap, but advertises "steal me".
  Prority mail is moderate.
  I always use registered mail.

  depends on the coin$. I usually use registered mail for expensive items and priority for less expensive.
  But I always give the buyer the options of how they want it shipped, there paying for it.
  I always reguire a Signature confirmation, I've never gotten burnt by the post office, guess I'll keep crossing my fingers.

  I'm a buyer rather than a seller....but...registered is clearly the safest but for me is the biggest pain. I have no one at home during the day to claim a package, and it's real hard to get off work and drive across town to pick up a package at the P.O.
  
  Insured mail to me is the happy medium. Of all the coins shipped to me insured, only 2 got lost (soon after 9/11)...and the claims went thru with no problem.

  Raw coins in a Safe-T-Mailer in a #10 envelope sent 1st Class insured with PS Form 3813-P or Registered if the value is high works for me.
  Slabs in a bubble mailer sent 1st Class with PS Form 3813-P works for me.
  Single slabs in a Registered Safe-T-Mailer in a #10 envelope works for me too.
  Cost will be less than $3 for either coin 1st Class unless insured value is higher than $100 or so.
  You can't Register a buble mailer.

  Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.
