<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 1693078, member: 33176"]Home insurance probably does not cover coins. You would have to have them described with some sort of evaluation from someone other than yourself. Even then, if you reported a loss, they would low-ball you with the lowest value they could possibly find. I had an older Plymouth Voyager van that was creamed in a parking lot by a little old lady driving a Bronco II. Truth, she was like "Did I do that?". Anyway her insurance company admitted all guilt and wanted to compensate me. I had hunted around on Craigslist and found comparable vans for between $1600 and $2000. The insurance company offered $500 because they said they had found a van for that on Craigslist in St. Louis (I am in CA). I told them I would take it if they would buy the van and drive it out to me. Much hassle later, we settled on $1000. That is the way it is with settlements, both parties are unhappy. Seriously, coins, especially foreign coins are worth only what you can sell them for.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
