Transporting rare coins safely is a common concern for Michigan collectors. Whether you’re shipping, relocating, or exchanging items with another party, you’ll want to protect your collection from loss or damage.

Here’s how to manage coin transport more securely:

• Use protective containers – Coin holders or capsules prevent physical wear and scratches.
• Avoid ordinary envelopes – Choose padded packaging or boxes to reduce impact during transit.
• Insure the shipment – Whether sending through a courier or postal service, get insurance for full value.
• Label discreetly – Don’t indicate the contents on the outside of the package to avoid attracting attention.
• Keep a record – Photograph each item and document values before moving or mailing them.

Proper handling not only protects your collection but also helps preserve long-term value. Following these steps can make coin transport safer throughout Michigan.
