Hope Diamond Delivered by Mail [pdf]
- koolba 2y ago> On November 8, 1958, he sent the precious stone via registered, First-Class Mail, from New York City to the Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. The postage cost him $2.44, plus $142.85 for $1 million worth of insurance. $142.85 to insure a million dollars of merchandise in transit seems like a pretty good deal.
- BobbyTables2 2y agoI can’t even get USPS to honor mail forwarding requests or not frequently misdeliver mail for entirely different localities to my home.
