<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tamaracian, post: 8014444, member: 23122&quot;]As a general rule--regardless of where you store your coins or whom you insure them with--clear photos of both sides, and documentation to show their description and acquisition cost, are essential.&nbsp; For raw coins, if you have a significant dollar value based on your cost, and for graded coins, you might want to get an appraisal from a <i>reputable dealer who does appraisals,</i> who should be able to determine both a market value and an insurance replacement value</p><p><br /></p><p>An alternative to Hugh Wood or other insurance would be a Burglar &amp; Fire-Rated UL Safe (made in the USA) of sufficient cubic capacity to store ALL of your coins plus room for additional coins; if large enough, you can also store important documents (make sure you have a Desiccator inside).&nbsp; These safes are heavy and have to be positioned on a solid surface; look for one that has a bottom thru-hole so that it can be mounted to the floor with a bolt.&nbsp; The cost for this type of safe runs around $1,500 for a new one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
