<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 25518200, member: 4626&quot;]My insurance company isn&#039;t asking that of me, thankfully.&nbsp; I&#039;m basing my estimates on Redbook, sales prices online, or what I can reasonably remember paying for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve decided I don&#039;t really need details on each and every coin in the collection, just ones of significant value.&nbsp; Otherwise I&#039;d never finish this.&nbsp; If it&#039;s worth putting in the safe, it&#039;s worth listing; most things not in there (other than the proof sets, for practicality, they just won&#039;t fit lol) aren&#039;t worth much over face value anyway and would already be covered as &quot;personal property&quot; under my renter&#039;s policy.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s not really an unreasonable request that if you insure something, the insurer wants to know what they&#039;re insuring, and have reasonable proof that you do in fact have it, and what it&#039;s worth.&nbsp; It&#039;s just that over the years the collection has grown to the point that doing so has become a near monumental task.</p><p><br /></p><p>Using Excel to make the text inventory, then will take some pictures as supporting documents.&nbsp; They should be satisfied with that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unless the total collection, or individual pieces, are VERY valuable, they don&#039;t expect an independent appraisal, as the cost of that would be more than the items are worth.&nbsp; It&#039;s hard to find anyone willing to do that for free, or heck at all unless you&#039;re offering to sell.&nbsp; As long as I have a reasonable basis for assigning the value, they&#039;re willing to accept it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
