Standard envelope for coins

[roundtownantiques]

Am I supposed to put the coin in something in the envelope, or is it just loose?

I usually put loose coins in my piggy bank.

If the coins are worth more than face value, by the time the buyer gets them they will be worth only face value. The coins will not look the same as sold. Opening the door for a complaint. There are different types of packaging made to protect coins and currency.

As blanket advice, I'd offer to never ship anything 'loose'. Never ever.

Should I put them in a coin “sleeve” or tape them to an index card?

Follows @mtgraves7984 advice and never put them loose in a envelope.  The postal machines will tear them up.

Get those fold over coin holders, tape & secure and then put 2 index cards front and back, tape/ secure.

I get a lot of smalls in the mail - nano receivers and the like.  The best sellers tape them to a card or have a small little sleeve they slip them into and then put them on a piece of card stock.  I'd think that if you just put in a coin loose, it would slide and flop around, and might work a hole through any paper envelope you use.

I don't sell coins. But how would you want to receive it? Personally a loose coin in an envelope or a coin taped to some paper would irritate me. Former might somehow escape or get damaged. Latter you got tape residue on it.

If you can get small coin holders that can protect the coin for cheap. Would go with that and maybe tape that to the packing slip or something. Can also maybe try to get those small coin envelopes and put it in that.
