How Much Does It Cost to Ship Coins?

The cost of shipping coin items depends on factors like the coin’s value, destination, weight, and chosen delivery option. At UNIVAL Logistics, you can request a shipping quote based on your specific needs.

Standard shipping rates can start as low as $20–$30 for domestic insured shipping, while high-value or international shipments may cost more due to added security and handling. Using private insurance is highly recommended to protect rare or valuable coins, and its premium is usually calculated as a small percentage of the declared value.

How to Ship Coins Properly?

The best way to ship collectible coins safely is to follow proper coin packing steps and comply with shipping regulations. First, place each coin in an individual protective holder, then wrap it in self-adhesive cardboard or bubble wrap. Use tamper-evident seals to secure the package and deter unauthorized access.

Choose sturdy shipping supplies like padded mailing envelopes or small boxes, and clearly print a mailing label with accurate delivery and return information. When you ship coins, double-check weight limits, required forms, customs regulations, and any carrier-specific rules to ensure smooth and secure delivery. Insure the coin shipment for its full value and use a reliable shipping service with tracking, such as UNIVAL.

Can You Ship Coins Internationally?

Yes, you can ship coins internationally, but the process must follow each country’s shipping regulations, customs rules, and import restrictions. Some nations classify coins as “currency” with legal tender status, which can trigger special restrictions, duties, or prohibitions, so always check local import/export laws to avoid confiscation or delays.

You’ll need secure coin packing, accurate customs forms and declarations to prevent fines or seizure, and full-value shipping insurance that covers international transit. For valuable or collectible coins, using a carrier experienced in handling and insuring high-value international shipments, such as UNIVAL Logistics, can help protect your package from loss, theft, or delays and deliver it worldwide safely.

Should I Disclose the Contents on the Package Label?

To enhance security and reduce temptation for theft, it is advised against labeling your coin package as “coins” or “gold” when shipping. Instead, use a generic term like “collectibles” for the outside label and reserve the details for insurance documentation only.

Do I Need Third-Party Insurance, or Is Declared Value Enough?

Relying on standard declared value may not be sufficient, especially for high-value shipments, where declared value limits can cap out well below the real value. A third-party insurance provider often offers higher coverage and better claim terms – something especially important for rare or irreplaceable coins.

You can ship on your own, then insure through UNIVAL Logistics. We offer specialized private insurance designed for shipping coins, providing worldwide coverage, discreet handling, and faster claims resolution than most carrier policies. This added protection ensures your collection is fully safeguarded from the moment it leaves your hands until it’s safely delivered.
