I was just reading the "the first 40 things that dissappear when HCBTT visits" thread and he said he shipped a box that weighed 69 pounds 15.8oz

I have shipped a couple of boxes with $115 face value in zinc cents, what is your best bang for the buck for shipping coins?

The limit is 70 lbs. You can get 70 lbs into a Medium flat rate box. That is the cheapest way to send pennies.

I've gotten packages that weighed on my bathroom scale at 70.5

Got 70 Lbs. of copper pennies to ship in a medium flat rate tomorrow. I should put 71 Lbs. cause that will probably be the record on here! Bman How did you end up shipping zincs?

I got one of those zinc boxes from B-man with $115 in it.. Very impressive packaging. I am ready for another one.

Will 70 lbs. of Cu pennies fit in a medium flat rate box???

Hoard, were you trying to post as HZBTT there or why are you ordering zincolns?

Hey, a guy's gotta diversify. As a serious shipper I just wanted to see if he could actually stuff $115 in a medium flat rate box.

When I shipped out my 69 pound, 15.8 ounce box Saturday it included 2 silver halves in addition to the $100 in copper cents.

Physically, it would fit, but the post office wouldn't take it because the box and packing material would but it over the absolute maximum weight. $100 in Cu pennies fits just fine and the weight comes in just right with the box and packing material.

I've sent out 2010-P shield cents to a couple of people that way now. There ain't much room left in that box!

I just realized this... I thought the weight limit was 75 lbs... not sure where I got that Idea...

You know if the weight limit was 75 pounds I would somehow get 74 pounds, 15.8 ounces in there.

Back in the old days before we had flat rate boxes.. I once shipped an entire mint sewn bag of 1968-S pennies in one of those flat rate envelopes. That was really "pressing the envelope."
