My most stress free way to send a single coin anywhere in the world is to put it in a CD mailer with a sub-envelope in the middle, with staples, so it stays in the center.
I have never been told of one being opened or assessed customs, as I presume it flows with letter mail. It doesn't look interesting. If you are a customs agent looking for valuable items to assess tax on, where are you going to spend your time, the boxes and items that have been insured or couriered or registered, or are you going to fish through and rip open (and retape) hundreds of thousands of pieces of untracked regular letter mail in case it contains a small valuable object?
Of course, the flip side is if the buyer says he never got it, he could be lying, and it's untracked, so you don't know. However the conscientious buyer ought to prefer getting it as letter mail at his own risk, since his "expected value" from possibly not paying VAT is probably greater than the negative expected value of the risk of loss.

10 coins have been ordered. I have 1 remaining if anyone would like to buy it.
I will have it, if you managed to find a stress free way to send to UK.
I'm sticking to US only for now. Either my post office is the strictest in the country or everyone is lying about the contents to ship silver to the UK.

I'm tempted to believe Casascius would cut us a break and send the order anyway, he's always been very reasonable. I'm eager to receive the coins, but I'm also willing to wait to see it through.
It looks like reddit is tired of hearing about them:

I would be willing to offer 9 coins for 9/20 the price and throw in capsules so they can be remailed.

Hey,
If this doesn't get any more orders soon can I cancel my pre order? Just wondering, seems like not many people are interested in buying one.

I can refund if you'd like. I'll go ahead and place the order as soon as we get 2 more buyers though if you can wait.

I'm going to post a reddit thread about it, see if we can drum up any support

What does everyone think of the defcon vulnerability for casascius coins? I find it mostly irrelevant; but I would be a bit worried if we chose not to discuss it here since this is the targeted scenario. I have complete faith in mike and og, as well as a realization that someone would need physical access to the casascius coin to remove the sticker. This is pretty hard to accomplish if they're in my posession and stored in an airtight container.
Well another thing to consider with the silver 1btc is that they had to laser the sticker to fit onto the coin...I think casascius may have sent him one to test the vulnerability of that. We may have some added security but who knows.

I anticipate funding them this weekend. There is one stuck in customs in Spain I anticipate I will part fund 0.05 btc per coin now and fund the rest on confirmed receipt.
Partial funding? Just wait man. We all trust you.

Any word on when the coins are going to be funded?
Huh? Are the coins not funded before being shipped by Casascius? August 03, 2013, 07:30:22 PM
