  Also, the Post Office WILL open these to inspect the contents.

  Well then, there's your answer

  I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  I would use the Small Flat Rate Box where I could adequately protect the coins with padding.
  
  If you choose the Flat Rate Envelope, be sure to cover the entire envelope with clear packing tape. Horizontally and vertically. Otherwise, it'll break open and the shipment will be lost.
  
  IF you are shipping a roll of raw IKE's, spend an additional .55 cents and get a square opaque coin tube. Tape it securely closed AND to the bottom of the FR Box. If you cheap out and use a round clear plactic tube, it'll break during shipping in a small flat rate box and the coins will spill out into the box. Half Dollar and smaller denomination tubes will fit securely but not Dollars. ANY coin tube must be taped securely closed otherwise it'll open up and spill the coins out.
  
  Coins in paper wrappers should be wrapped in bubble wrap to prevent them from splitting open.
  
  Try not to get too cheap on your packing techniques.
  
  Good Luck.
