<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LaCointessa, post: 2838898, member: 87186&quot;]Hi [USER=84047]@Voulgaroktonou[/USER]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s another way of thinking about it:</p><p><br /></p><p>When I put myself in a step-father&#039;s shoes, something makes me want my step-daughter to avoid schlepping boxes of perhaps valuable coins across the pond. I want to encourage step-daughter to take photographs of the coins. If she sends those by email (even in small batches over some months - Is there a reason this has to be done in one gulp?) with my expertise I will be able to tell her a great deal about the coins and give her an idea about value. That way she can leave the coins her deceased dad left her in an insured bank safe deposit box and we can still pull the photographs up on the computer and discuss them when we are together and when she is back home in the UK.</p><p><br /></p><p>And if bringing in any coins of a certain date, I would be sure to stress the importance of complying with documentation requirements of the pertinent MOUs.</p><p><br /></p><p>If my step-daughter is thinking she would like to sell (or gift, darling girl!) the coins to me, then I would still recommend she photograph each of them so that if she ships the coins or tries to bring them in when she travels and they are lost or confiscated, (or even if the UK bank safe deposit box gets &#039;hit&#039;) she will have a record of what there was.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
