The award for best packaging in the industry goes to...

my friends at Coin Rarities Online.

They have bucked the industry trend to use exclusively free materials available at the post office and actually purchase reusable boxes with handy inserts. They even affix their catchy logo (which I have no clue whatsoever what it represents) to the box.

As one who is known to buy the box, not the holder, nor the coin image , I am impressed with John and Dave in this area, as well.

    I recycle all packaging that I can. It's enviornmentally friendly and I'm frugal.

    DLRC does a nice job too... but honestly I can't recall paying all that much attention to this as long as the coin arrives safely that's all that matters.

    I too recycle all packaging.

    Guess we all now need to buy something from Coin Rarities Online just to see the packaging imageimageimage

    Yes, CRO uses a very professional package.

    DLRC ships them like I ship mine. Safe-t-mailer and bubble wrap inside a bubble mailer.

    Better than Scotch taping the coin to a piece of cardboard?

    I'm surprised that RYK admits to comparing packages.
  • RYK does have a little OCD, it appears.image

  • In all seriousness, it always amazes me how little time/thought that Heritage puts into shipping their coins. I keep waiting for my insane mail carrier to put one of my packages into the wrong box.

    The coin holders are put in a PCGS 20 slab box and it is all tight!

    Seanq was the best forum member parcel packaging I've received as I couldn't open it in the USPS office or parking lot to inspect it...

    I need to venture home and work my way into the box.

    but is it made from 100% recycled toilet paper?
    a box that does not recycle used toilet paper is not green enough
    for me!
