Here is a little story that I hope you will find of interest -

That's funny!

I have one dealer that always sends coins inside old pocket book romances. The return address is always the name of the dealer, but his trade is identified as used books. I assume its to reduce the liklihood of theft and the romances are always interesting to pass on to others. I found it clever when it dawned on me why and what he was doing. The paperback provides good protection as well.

I got a package of coins from Russia in trade once, the sender had cut out slots in two ply cardboard, inserted the coins, and then put the cutout back in. I have since been doing that when shipping coins to that part of the world and have never had a loss.

With all the lost packages stories it's nice to see a seller that cares.

Nice coin, by the way.
