<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 821113, member: 4552"]This really depends on where you live. By me a few neighbors have already found out the best insurance for a coin collection is to keep your mouth shut. Two robberies on my block alone were for coins. One robber was a relative. The other one happened right after the person informed an insurance agent of his collection. Not that the insurance people did it of course. </p><p>In the Chicago area there are approximately 50,000 venicals stolen per year. From 500 to 800 murders per year. Way to many home invasions, store robberies, etc to even attempt to total. If your in an area like this, even mentioning a coin collection is sort of like putting hundred dollar bills on your front porch. Even having coin related magazines delivered to your place is dangerous. </p><p>I've visited areas where the people leave the doors open while they go shopping or to church. Keys are left in cars all the time. Easier to find them that way. Someone working on a coin collection might be left on the table while out doing something. </p><p>Stuff like that just is not the way of a large city.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
