The exact container depends on the shipping class: for example, our Standard Envelope option is limited to a maximum of 1\/4\" thickness, so a bubble mailer isn’t used there. Instead, coins travel in a vinyl flip, a thick baggie, or a cardboard flip, whichever best protects that particular coin. We ship daily, Monday through Friday, excluding all USPS holidays.\n\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"background:#f4f1ea;border:1px solid #ddd6c4;border-radius:6px;padding:14px;\"\u003e\n\u003cb style=\"color:#0f3d2e;display:block;margin-bottom:4px;font-size:13px;letter-spacing:.04em;\"\u003eRETURNS \/ GUARANTEE\u003c\/b\u003e\nWe maintain (unless otherwise noted on items like bullion) a 30-day, FREE-to-you return policy.
