^^I did. Here is Ron's packing for a 2 oz coin.^^
Place in zip lock bag. Then bubble wrap both sides. Place in cardboard box which is designed to be less than 20 mm and can be sent via normal letter. Then get registered green pre paid postal envelope with tracking. Coin arrived in perfect condition.

I am shocked to have received this
Looks Bad , there are thing like Glad Wrap from the kitchen that can be use., cost Fraction .
I do spend a bit on The Zip Lock Bags and others stuffs for packing.
No No Direct Sticked stick straight on to the coins. ( I do know @Mint Silver Coins , who this seller is.
bad repo )@Mint Silver Coins , Thanks for bring this up !
The sticky tapes do leave some residue on the coins. Worst $154 you ever spend.
Recently purchased from Ron.Little humble-brag on my part here, but ask my buyers how I pack things

He carved a block of foam to perfectly fit the items, then bomb proofed with bubble wrap.
Well done mate
Thanks
A lot of stackers here rock with there packing but there are those few times that one is left to shake their head and ask WTF.... like what was the person actually thinking
But yes as pointed out @Bullion_ron is a master of packing and shipping goods. And to boot items are always as described. I do not mean to just point one person out as much as just wanted to tag onto Sonypony's above comment

Did you leave the senders details in the picture?I am shocked to have received this
I’ve never used it on a coin but eucalyptus oil works extremely well on every other surface, I’m not sure if it would damage the coin though. Would be good to test on a 50% florin first.
Don't remove sticky substances, instead stick your sticky coins together for ease of stacking and storage.
I don't think I have ever purchased bubble wrap to wrap and send items to other stackers. I have plenty of it already from either doing deals here and receiving it wrapped around stuff I've bought/traded from members here, plus I have noticed that many other consumer items I buy also use bubble wrap for packaging, an example being electrical and whitegoods.
Reuse or repurpose because it can't be recycled.

just link the picture here, easy
No good for collector coins or in capsules. If a mail sorter drops a monster box on your package will it be damaged?
People who do great packaging do their best to make sure everything is safe both inside and out from potential damage. This means ensuring goods don't damage each other or even the package itself as well as being properly packed and padded to survive the delivery system. You should be able to drop your package from shoulder height on a concrete floor without damaging the package or contents before considering it safe for shipping as is likely to happen at least once for most items under 5kg before delivery.
The capsules that 1 kilo Perth Mint coins come in are prone to cracking during transportation. Knowing this I go a bit extra on packaging. Here is how I sent a 1 kilo coin yesterday.
Place the coin in a jumbo zip lock plastic bag. Then wrap multiple layers of bubble wrap around the coin and tuck in and tape around the coin. Then I get some of that ridged 5 mm thick foam packaging (you can recycle Perth Mint wrapping for this) and go over the coin again a couple of times. Then use plenty of tape over it to secure it. Then I get a cardboard box that fits into a small satchel and place 1 inch foam in the bottom of the box. I also use the 1 inch foam on the sides of the coin as well to fill out the box. Try not to leave the coins loose in anyway in the box as any drops mean movement that can result in cracking the capsule. So far, so good. Here are the photos.

Today I received a couple of fractional gold coins from member @ToDaMoon . Came with the most secure packaging anyone could ever ask for. He went to all the trouble of hollowing out a hard cover children's Santa book and concealing the coins within the book and then taping the book shut. To a postal worker this would have just been a kids Santa's book. To me this was a great way of concealing the contents and protecting the coins. He then went the extra mile and bubble wrapped the whole book as well. The coins arrived in excellent condition. Here are the photos, thanks @ToDaMoon .
