At Mid-American Rare Coin Galleries, we make it easy to submit your rare coins for our assessment and potential purchase. We almost always choose to purchase your coins, but if for some reason we don’t, we’ll return your coins to you at no charge.
To send your coins, we recommend you first contact us (859-276-1551) to find out if one of our affiliates is conveniently located for in-person drop-off. If not, you can simply ship your coins to our office via U.S. Postal Service or FedEx. Both methods are easy, safe and fully insured.
Option 1 — U.S. Postal Service
Registered Mail through the USPS allows packages to be tracked throughout the shipping process. The Postal Service insures packages for up to $25,000. Be sure to tightly pack your coins to prevent rattling, and carefully wrap your package, covering all corners of the box with paper tape (see photo). You can find shipping supplies at FedEx Office and other shipping stores
Option 2 — FedEx
FedEx offers the easiest way to get your coins to us. You can even overnight your package for immediate service. FedEx supplies boxes and shipping labels at no charge. There is no need to purchase insurance from FedEx; our private insurance covers inbound packages for up to $75,000 each. Be sure to complete your mailing label as shown in the example below. (package MUST be sent from Jeff Garrett to Jeff Garrett using my account information). Then package your coins in a box, carefully wrap it, and place it in a larger FedEx box for shipping. We recommend using clear tape on both ends of the box to prevent tampering (see photo). If you choose FedEx, we’ll give you additional shipping tips to make the process as easy as possible.
