[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 1992555, member: 15929"]It really depends upon how many coins you have! When I moved from Denver to California, I had 8 - 18 gallon totes filled with coins along with a 1976 Les Paul Custom Deluxe, a Gibson Hummingbird and a new wife. It was a 2 day drive and we stopped for the night in Nevada moving the coins and guitars into the Motel Room. No problems at all even though the car was carrying close to 250 additional pounds of weight and it showed. If you only have coins enough to fill a suitcase, then take them with you and be careful if you're carrying a weapon since you could very well be arrested in a State where you do not have a permit. The trick to security is to simply act unobvious and not act suspicious as the only folks that know what you have is YOU. Everybody else has to guess and you don't want to give them a reason to start guessing. Coin Dealers get robbed because they leave major coin shows and get followed. The crooks KNOW what they are carrying. Crooks have NO IDEA what every car on the road might be carrying. Good Luck in your move.[/QUOTE]
