How does this happen?

I sent a coin to a board member. I mailed it in a cardboard mailer in an envelope. The slab was new (2 months old). It shows up at his house in 2 pieces. INCREDIBLE!! I can only imagine how the good old U.S. Postal service managed that one. I mean, think of the force it takes to crack a slab in half. I felt really bad and am going to replace the coin with one from my own collection, I just found it incredible. Thanks USPS.

I always use a bubble mailer of some kind (and a cardboard mailer), which I think provides better protection. I give a lot of credit to my local USPS folks, I think they do a great job. Give them the benefit of the doubt, I know they aren't perfect!
Does this answer your question?

Most of these packages are practically thrown across the room and against a wall.

Everyone,
Thanks for the feedback. I had no idea how this could happen. As usual, this board is an excellent resource for information.
I must also apologize for my harsh comments about USPS. I figured it was just careless handling....I guess careless packaging was equally to blame.
Lesson learned,
Jack
