Interesting topic!
Since coins are so easily sold, traded, and concealed under the radar there are surely to be some bizarre situations that arise in divorces where one of the partners was a coin/bullion collector. A bitter divorcee might try to take the items that the former spouse cared about most as revenge, even if they are not legally entitled to a portion of the items.
I have a co-worker whose ex-girlfriend ran off with his sports card collection when he was at work. She sold it piecemeal to a number of pawn shops within a 100 mile radius. He didn't keep any records/photos of what he had so he couldn't prove definitively that it was his. Lost about $50K in stuff.
