    Hi guys,

    I need to send a 50g coin to Florida and wondered which is the easiest and fairly economical way to go.

    Cheers,

    sam.

    The packages I've received from Australia using the Australian Post standard air mail has been fairly quick and economical.

    What i do, is buy the padded bag $1.20 at po, regular postage aroudn $2.20 and there you go,
    you wil need to declare what you are sending.

    what i do is write 'numismatic supply' and for value
    i write $4.

    So far worked well. ( even sent gold coins this way :) )
    but its a bit scary with gold and regular postage.

    It appears the APO is the way to go.

    Every time I have done this, I write 'gaming token' on the customs form. No problems.

    " GAMING TOKEN " i like the sound of that.

    I sometimes receive packages with real declared value ( ie.$70 ) and its in regular postage !

    i always shake my head at that.
