My collection has gradually grown to the point I get concerned about theft when I leave on vacation. Does anyone know how to get a collection insured and what the documentation requirements would be? My coins are kept in a large safe that's bolted into concrete and I have a security system in place.
Any advice on security and/or insurance?

Talk to your trusted homeowners insurance agent. If he is worth what he thinks he is he should be able to provide you with the answers you are looking for regarding insuring your collection.

IIn addition, tf you are a member of the ANA you should look into the insurance company they have recommended for years and see what that company can offer you.

There are upsides and downsides to collection insurance. They make it sound good. The proof however is when you make a claim and then discover what they told you ain't what's in the fine print.

Good luck!

From what I've heard you will need documentation and photos of all coins.

Don't tell anyone that you have a safe or collect coins.

I was at a gathering a few weeks ago when a guy (I had just met) told me he had inherited a huge coin collection estimated in value to be $250,000. I told him, quit telling people about it.

Truth be told....I believe everyone on this site only have well worn common circulated coins...

Check into Ring cameras..3 bucks a month for monitoring services is cheap for peace of mind...I suffered a loss of parts of my collection this year...Love the cameras
