[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 2355882, member: 27832"]As it turned out, this display was maybe a hundred feet from the main entrance, but pretty secluded. The library's site does emphasize that they have continuous video surveillance throughout the building. This building hosts a number of rare book and archive collections. I'm sure the folks running it figure that if they have enough security to protect irreplaceable, unique manuscripts, a bunch of old coins should be just fine. :) Herman Bernard donated the Bechtler collection to UNC in 1979. The card with the Charlotte half-eagle collection says only that it's "on loan", nothing about from whom or for how long. Maybe I should head back with the big camera sooner rather than later... but shooting through thick glass and plastic in dim light, I'm not sure the results would be worth the effort.[/QUOTE]
