A few folks have asked for some more information regarding shipping and insurance, as well as for some more photos.

Someone asked about the photos, they appear to show a scratch, and whether or not the scratch is on the coin or the air-tite, and it's on the air-tite.  I took the coin out of the holder and took the following additional photos: https://postimg.cc/gallery/44Bj3LD

As to shipping and insurance, UPS offers high value goods shipping which includes options to insure up to $100,000 for international shipments, or up to $150,000 for domestic (USA).  If someone bids on this coin and wins, I would be more than happy to cover the cost of the insurance (winner still pays the $30 domestic shipping fee, or international shipping fee. I will cover insurance): https://upscapital.com/product-services/high-value-goods-parcel-pro/

Insurance does not cover the digital value...   even private insurances have disclaimers about this.

Have you ever had to file a claim?

USPS Website States:

Proof of Value, Replacement, or Repair Costs

"The final or complete transaction sheet indicating the amount deducted from an Internet account to pay for the item."

Would a Bitcoin transaction that includes the USD at the time of the transaction suffice for this?

Would these fall under their "gift card" category?


100% they do not cover digital value!!  ICG made a collector whole and most came from their own pockets as insurance does not cover digital value.  There was a theft by a postal worker on a package they sent out.  It was an inside job at the post office.  Insurance covered the precious metals and a touch more, but that was it.
