    The obvious concern is parking at gas stations, restaurants and hotels for the night. I've heard of people moving their good refrigerator out of their house briefly to move something else and coming out to find the refrigerator gone. People want them to sell for scrap or the freon. No way you could trust an EMPTY fridge on a trailer over night in a hotel parking lot.

    Oh, if he's using an open trailer then.no but a box truck or closed trailer is ok. I would keep the cream of the crop stuff in a backpack with me though

    Unless you want to consider the expense of a private courier (Brinks truck style) I'd say keep it with you and keep yourself well armed - and bring a well armed travel companion. Bring it into the hotel with you, sleep with it and get that run done as quickly as you can. Do not stop for sights, always stay with the package.

    Plan to have a place to safely store it at your destination. Pre-order a SDB, pre-install safe, etc...

    Next best is to ship in multiple chunks - fully insured.

    If you do, make sure you do a physical handoff at your shipper and get a receipt showing the acceptance of the package, and use direct adult signature requirement at the other end so it doesn't end up at a neighbor's.

    Or call this guy...

    You don't have to ship it all in one box. You could easily split it into several reasonable weight packages. You also don't have to ship the whole collection this way, just the high value coins. (Unless they are all high value items)

    Priority flat rate boxes have a 70 lbs weight limit so, depending on how bulky it is you should be able to be accomplish mailing the collection in only a few large fr boxes unless it's a lot of slabbed stuff but like I said, whatever route you choose keep the best, most sentimental and most valuable stuff on or near your person at all times in a backpack and treat that bag like your in an airport

    Melt the coins into jewelry and wear it.

    You can't imagine how often that happens to move wealth around the world without having to declare it.

    I handled my own moves over long distances twice. Used a large non-commercial minivan to maintain climate control. Covered the tops of the boxes with blankets to shield the contents. Total weight was 2000 pounds.

    Oh yeah? Well, I've done the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, so there! :p



    I didn't know this the first 50 times I saw Star Wars but now that I know, it really bothers me that they would be so sloppy.

    A parsec (symbol: pc) is a unit of length used to measure large distances to objects outside the Solar System. One parsec is the distance at which one astronomical unit subtends an angle of one arcsecond. A parsec is equal to about 3.26 light-years (31 trillion kilometres or 19 trillion miles) in length.

    I travel with high dollar coins to shows often. I have them in luggage. And I'm usually armed if I was moving I'd have them in the trailer or more likely in the back seat of my truck and I'd take them in my room with me at hotels and of course I'm usually armed
