<p>[QUOTE=&quot;whopper64, post: 8404568, member: 101364&quot;]It&#039;s a shame that the ANA, with the support from the established TPG&#039;s, can not create a truly unique coin emporium (not museum) in which all worthy donated U.S. coins would be guaranteed to be shown.&nbsp; Perhaps an abandoned warehouse, former sanitarium or private school to begin with and future expansion pre-planned.&nbsp; Can&#039;t believe that there wouldn&#039;t be extensive donations as long as the donors knew that their collections would be shown.&nbsp; TPG&#039;s could be encouraged to donate monies so much per year with the knowledge that their slabs would be represented in many collections.&nbsp;&nbsp; Also, the loaning donors would pay a &quot;caretaker&quot; fee each year (something like what is charged to families in some of the largest cemeteries in New Orleans).&nbsp; For outright donations, the emporium would guarantee that the collections would be shown for so many years before being broken up and/or sold to pay for upkeep and expansion of the emporium.&nbsp; Truly rare and unique coins would be featured in a permanent section for display.&nbsp; Considering that many of the coins would have historical importance, thousands of companies/organizations could be solicited for monetary donations to help pay for maintenance/security/upkeep.&nbsp; Ultra rich families could be encouraged to donate millions of dollars if sections of the emporium would be named after them.&nbsp; Just a thought but wouldn&#039;t it be worth consideration?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
