Message:: [QUOTE="Dougmeister, post: 3232987, member: 56842"]I have a very modest collection of ancients, focusing on coins of the Bible and those that are related to famous people or places of antiquity. Probably not valued at more than a few hundred dollars, but not doing anyone much good sitting in my safe deposit box. I have thought about doing something like this and wanted to get feedback from you all before I approached any local groups. <ol> <li>Have one particular church/school be the "guardian" of the collection</li> <li>Only 1 person at the "guardian entity" would know that I am connected to the coins</li> <li>My identity would be kept a secret; hopefully for a very, very long time</li> <li>All coins must be kept in a SDB, a safe, etc.</li> <li>Has to have only 1 or 2 people with access to the coins</li> <li>Coin must be signed out and signed back in</li> <li>If lost or damaged, "signee" is responsible to reimburse purchase price + 10%</li> <li>Coin cannot be signed out for more than one week at a time</li> <li>Possible that "guardian entity" would use their insurance to cover the costs?</li> <li>If "borrowed" by another church/school/non-profit, deposit of purchase price + 10%</li> <li>If to be displayed, they must do so securely and submit a plan ahead of time</li> </ol>Any thoughts? Good idea? Horrible idea? Missing some things? Edit: and before anyone else says it, pretty sure that #3 will not last as long as I think it will.[/QUOTE]
