FA: 1922 Peace Silver Dollar - Slabbed MS63! NR!

Greetings,

My wife has a friend in Wales who is collecting a set of the Statehood
quarters. To help her out, we got some of our extras together and put them
into a cardboard mailer and put that into another envelope. It weighed more
than 4 oz so I needed to fill out the green customs tag. I put "numismatic
item" with a value of $2.00 (there were 8 quarters). They told me I had to
send it registered mail since it was "cash".

This friend also swaps post cards with my wife. We got several of them
together, put 4 quarters in the envelope with them, and mailed them with no
problems. Had to do it twice to get all 8 quarters sent.

In reality, even in the USA, we aren't supposed to be mailing money unless
we send it as registered mail. So every grandparent who sends a birthday
card with $5 cash in it to their grandchildren are breaking a federal law.
Numismatic items are not exempted from this "law". I understand the intent
is to prevent the money laundering. And there are ways "around" the laws.

When it comes to shipping coins to overseas customers, I insist that they
accept the risk, just as I do with some of the auctions I have won from
British sellers.

Hi Bob!
I've heard all that before and the truth is that you have no
responsibility
for what you are shipping abroad; if a given country does not allow coins
to be
imported this is buyer's duty to know and support the eventual loss.
I live in Greece and "officially" on the USPS site they say it is not
permitted to import "coins" in Greece!
The question is "what kind of coins" ?!
I've asked at the Post Office here and they said the law speaks about
coins
in the sense of "real", circulating money, the law was trying to protect
the
country from fraudulent movement (read laundry...) of money (also to
protect
country's currency), so collector's coins are not included ! Not to
mention
that this law is about ... 65 years old and already obsolete with the
introduction of the euro...
Bottom line, I have more that 450 coins bought from US based dealers,
silver
and gold, and I *never* had a problem here !
There are several dealers who will ship abroad, I believe they know
something
better ;-)

By non accepting overseas bids you are reducing your opportunities to
get
a
better max bid...
As for the rest, nice coin but rather common, I'd like to see it in a
PCGS slab :-)

I fully agree with you Bob!
When I buy gold coins or coins/sets of big value, I am always asking to be
sent by registered mail.
For less valuable silver coins simple Airmail Letter Post is OK.
In about 5 years on e-Bay I *never* lost a coin!

Now regarding shipping abroad, I gave you my personal experience in my
previous e-mail...
The coins we are collecting are not considered "money" in its strict meaning
(at least in Greece where I live).

No, YOU hand his name and address over to the authorities if it's such a big
deal for you. Speaking of cowardly anonymity, take a quick look in any
convenient mirror. And please learn how to spell anonymity.

What is your theory ?

Why spam this thread with comercial advertisements for your ebay
auctions ?

On the other hand I'm also reducing my opportunities to get ripped off,
and avoiding the hassle of filling in customs forms.

Hmmm ... I have more than 400 coins bought from USA based sellers and
everybody was happy to ship outside US.
You can't be ripped off when you are paid through Paypal, actually all the
"rip-off" cases I've ever heard of where done by ... Americans :-)


Gogus tiny minded RACISM knows no bounds !

First he was anti-Jew

Then he got anti-Muslim too

Hate speech followed against Turks, Romanians and Macedonians

Now he infers with his stupid little smiley emoticon that all Americans
are Rip-off merchants and greece is a supreme safe haven where 400
coins did not get stolen

*ROTFFLMFAO*

She is very ambitious and I really believe she will be a tough lady when she

In that picture she reminds me of a politician delivering a speech :-)
Thanks!



Who's kid is she really ?

Can't be yours because on that dating site you are a frequenter of you
