  I send small packages to Midwest Refineries all the time insured for big amounts and I've wondered the same thing. I even send lesser valued packages without insurance and have never had a problem.

  I have customers mail items to me using CCRC instead of Common Cents Rare Coins. I also do the same when shipping to other coin dealers.

  I write "RMA # 323548" on the package. That makes it look like returned broken parts.

  << <i> insured it for $800 >>
  
  
  
  Thats why the insurance cost so much. It's not your worry now it's theirs.

  Anybody remember Stow Nut and Bolt Co. out of Ohio? Used to buy a lot of BU Lincoln rolls from them back in the 70's---never a loss problem with them. Bill.

  Hey! I remember those guys. I bought some coins from them too, back then.

  << <i>I just mailed some coins to "X Rare Coins" which seems like it could be a problem to me given I insured it for $800. Hmmm, I wonder what could be in a box to "X Rare Coins" insured for a large amount.
  
  Isn't that just asking for problems?
  
  So I just labeled it "X R C" which will only help on this end of the postal system. >>
  
  Good thinkin!

  I remember sending a priority package to Charles Daughtry aka Coppercoins and the PO wouldn't put it into his mailbox because the name I sent it to was NOT on the approved list of names for that PO box. So ya pays yer money and takes yer chances.

  So I shouldn't the full name of my company on my return address labels when sending parcels?

  That's why I list multiple variants on my box: Jeremy Katz, JKCP, JK Photography. If someone were to write out JK Coin Photography, it's technically covered, though I don't have to make it explicit on the application.
