[QUOTE="geekpryde, post: 1855320, member: 36248"]yeah, what he said.

My reply: The policy is very straightforward. They just determine if you are more a collector or a dealer by answering a simple question, I'm paraphrasing here "Do you take coins to booths/tables at shows, have a personal website selling coins, or derive you income for selling coins then..." If so, they direct you towards a different type of policy. You need to keep an accurate inventory of your collection, but you don't need to send it to them every time you add/subtract a coin. They ask you very basic and minimal questions about your residence. The only other thing is, they DONT want you collection to be heavy in Bullion. I think you need to have less than 10% in bullion. (They really want coin collectors and not metal speculators I think). I use the "Bronze" level, which covers me at home. There are 5 basic levels: Vault, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum. At Gold and above, you get covered for loss during shipping items or driving them around in your car. I would send them a short email and tell them about how much your collection would cost to replace, and maybe include a simple inventory report (I did, but it was not necessary). I include my ANA member number in all my correspondence to Hugh Wood. [EMAIL]valuables@hughwood.com[/EMAIL] This is not your normal insurance policy rider with a ton of legal mumbo-jumbo. It is meant to be easy and straightforward, and very affordable. For ordinary to advanced collectors it truly is a no-brainer. I hope this helps the OP.[/QUOTE]
