"Lost in the mail" is about on par with "The dog ate my homework". I
think the most common reason something is really lost in the mail is
that the item was inadvertently placed in someone else's mailbox. If
that someone else is honest, even that item eventually gets delivered.

Once, I had an allegedly XF-40 1855-d $5 gold piece go missing in the
mail on the way to PCGS.

A couple of months later, a postal employee working at the destination
post office was arrested for theft. USPS insurance eventually paid,
but it was far from a painless process.


Yeah, I would expect that to be a serious danger point. Some
disgruntled postal worker who says, "Oh, it's yet another item
for such-and-such address, which is that company that does stuff
with expensive coins. And it is a package, rather than a
letter..."
