You seem to imply as much by using that as your (partial) retort. I certainly didn&#039;t say nor remotely imply that ANY collector would do such a thing, but if you honestly believe that there are not so-called &quot;collectors&quot; out there who not only would, but would jump at the chance (regardless the fact &quot;they can&#039;t show it off to anyone&quot;, etc), you&#039;re living in dreamland. This is not to say you didn&#039;t make both reasonable and valid points, but if there was, in fact, absolutely and without exception, zero buyers or someone wishing to squirrel it away, for similarly valuable and/or rare coins, why bother with securing them? Is it only from those who don&#039;t understand what such coins really are and represent? If this was your coin, would you pass it around like playdough, comfortable in the belief that no one would ever steal it because of the reasons you posted? Please... you&#039;ve never struck me as one who just fell off of the truck. There are many collectibles, even ones more easily identifiable than this, that end up stolen and residing in another collector&#039;s collection, even if said collector knows full well the history, and that their prized item will always carry a black eye. We don&#039;t have to like it, and this certainly is NOT meant to, in ANY way, defend such actions, but is an unfortunate reality. Again, and with all due respect; don&#039;t be so naive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
