I bought a few, especially since I'm overseas and postage costs can be extremely high, but the delivery fee was why I chose this seller - it wasn't exorbitant for a change! Given this alone, I'll be back! The coins were packed flat (letter style), encased in plastic covering and not touching each other to prevent damage during postage - despite being on the other side of the world, they arrived safely - and quickly! Thank you so much! Photo included is just an example of a couple of the coins from the order I received. HideReviewed ProductPosted on
