Shipping a roll of silver half dollars

What's the safest way to ship a roll of circulated Walker half dollars? Priority flat rate, signature, insured or...? Thanks

I do Priority with signature confirmation on anything $500 and up and sometimes on things $200 plus depending on how I feel about the buyer. I just shipped a card I sold for $5300 to a buyer here on BO and its the first time Ive used Priority express flat rate envelope. ITs nerve wracking the whole time its in transit, lol.

also- if its on ebay, do not bother with the insurance they offer as they do not cover coins or bullion, but will still sell it to you of course.

may want to check as usps covers NO GOLD OR SILVER unless registered so use no insurance or fork over $30
Good way to do it is to put in a small flat rate box and tape ends shut then run tape around the small side of box at least 5 times. make sure NOTHING is making noise in package
