FYI Check out the USPS signature security service. Your package is sealed, accounted for on paper and goes in a locked bag. Each transfer along the way gets treated in the same manner, accounted for and placed in another locked bag.
For large amounts this is the way to go IMHO. Insuring your gold at melt value is not a good thing! Unless you have had the gold appraised by a professional for proof of value chances are the Postal Service will not honor any claim placed based on your statement of value. Check with your post master and see if he/shee agrees.
BTW signature security service is cheap in comparison to the insurance rates the USPS charges.
