<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 3233667, member: 74282&quot;]The thing about coins is that if a nonprofit is willing to provide security, insurance, etc they&#039;re really not that hard for them to get hold of, most of them just aren&#039;t willing to spend the time and money to do it. There are various museums and colleges near me that have small collections of ancient coins and I&#039;ve seen them loan items out to other organizations but as others have said, there&#039;s not a lot of interest. At the &quot;Dead Sea Scrolls&quot; exhibit that the Denver Museum of Nature and Science recently put on there was a huge display of artifacts before the scrolls themselves. Pottery, coins, figurines, utensils, etc. Most people were taking a quick glance and walking right past all the smaller artifacts and only really interested in the big pottery pieces and the scrolls themselves.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I were in a position where I wanted to share my collection and also allow those few who were really interested in it to have closer access I would first photograph the whole thing and then set up an exhibit at a library with some of the coins. In a locked case I&#039;d have the coins themselves and then in a binder off to the side, high res printed photos of the coins. For good measure I&#039;d also leave an email address for interested parties to contact you for more info or questions. You could make one up such as &quot;<a href="mailto:DougmeisterCollection@gmail.com">DougmeisterCollection@gmail.com</a>&quot; or similar to maintain anonymity if you want.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
