<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 1431906, member: 6036&quot;]There is a very important variable to consider - the lot viewing process.</p><p><br /></p><p>For any given auction, several hundred people view Heritage lots. At the auction venue, there can be several dozen people viewing simultaneously.</p><p><br /></p><p>In that setting, any given lot can be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. So here is the problem - <b>how does one allow easy and prompt access to $30 million worth of coins and yet maintain 100% security on every single coin ?</b></p><p><br /></p><p>Heritage has several thousand coins in every auction (almost 10,000 at January FUN 2012). Those coins are stored in several hundred boxes. Each box is marked with a beginning and ending lot number. Clients get the boxes, look through them, then put them back in the boxes <b>in order of lot number</b>.</p><p><br /></p><p>At that point, a monitor person can quickly look through the box and verify all coins are there. This system works if, and only if, the coin has the house&#039;s lot number on the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is nothing wrong with putting a sticker on a coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
