Fair enough. All of those are very good points. He was not the worst misfortune to happen to Rome. Let me rephrase: “Caligula was one of the...
At what point does it become necessary for someone to insure their collection against theft/natural disaster/etc,. ? Is it only worth doing above...
Thanks for answering :). Keep in mind I mentioned that the curators would have been well trained with years of experience in handling rare...
I probably should’ve written this in my OP but the question is assuming you did have stuff the museum wanted. It’s just a question I’m curious...
Very cool! May I ask what coins you lent out? If you don’t want to be specific are you willing to tell when they’re from?
I understand that but my question was hypothesizing that the museum did not have what they wanted and they asked collectors to help out by letting...
Yeah I’m with you on that :). It seems to be a 50/50 thing. Some yes. Some no.
I read an interesting article a few weeks ago about a guy who donated a lot of his collection to a museum for 2 years because they were doing a...

I know I’m cracking it out of the slab though :P Fortunately I live in a very safe area and my family is wealthier than I am so they have no...
That’s so cool!! ^_^ I’ve seen coins sell with labels like that but usually it’s private companies vastly overcharging for common ancient coins...
Ohhhh my bad. I misunderstood. Well darn. Mailing envelopes are one of few things I have plenty of. xD
Hmm yeah I’ll do that. There is no rush on me cracking it out. It won’t hurt the coin to stay in a slab for another week. The only downside is I...
Oh envelopes will work too? I have lots of paper envelopes that I use to send mail.
Oh no it’s not a denarius it’s a Trajan tetradrachm. My Trajan denarius is staying in its slab xD This is the coin I’m cracking out. [ATTACH]
Thanks! How can I tell if they are archival quality/free of PVC? The ones I have were sent to me by APMEX & JMB when I placed orders for bullion...
Tonight is the night. In about 20 minutes I will be cracking open my NGC holder (the first time I’ve ever done so) with my Ch VF graded Trajan...
