<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 8019647, member: 100459&quot;]I had been reading this thread to find out what I should do to cover my coins and other precious items (jewelry, electronics).&nbsp; One advantage I have is that I have retired as a state auditor (CPA).&nbsp; I have always been detail oriented when keeping up with the cost of things.&nbsp; I have binders and folders with invoices and other detailed information for the purchase and renovation of our house.&nbsp; I have all my warranties and serial numbers on all of furnishings of the kitchen and other electronics.&nbsp; </p><p>I knew that my father had left his coin collections to me and my brother, however, although his will was specific, that we would get his collection, my mother would not let us have anything from his will.&nbsp; He died in 1997 and she died in 2006.&nbsp; We finally got my father&#039;s coin collection after my mother passed.&nbsp; I did not start collection coins until I finally got my share of our father&#039;s coin collection.&nbsp; I have kept a record of all the coins that I got.&nbsp; There were some Morgans, Peace, and other collectible coins.&nbsp; I have a detailed record of what I got and when I got them. It was my work in recording my father&#039;s coin collection, that I got the &quot;bug&quot; of coin collecting.&nbsp; It was then, I started buying coins and collections.&nbsp; Some from coin stores, over the internet, and other locations.&nbsp; I have a detailed record of all the coins I bought.&nbsp; Then I started buying from the Mint.&nbsp; I kept a detailed record of every coin I bought.&nbsp; Those that I bought from the Mint, was easy to keep a record of.&nbsp; I have a binder with all of the detailed transactions that I purchased from the Mint.&nbsp; I make a copy of the Mint&#039;s listing on their website and all the information they entered on thir website, i.e. emails recorded the order is placed and any and every document the Mint publishes on their website about the purchase.&nbsp; I also print the &quot;Scheduled Release&quot; for each year.&nbsp; I have &quot;Scheduled Releases&quot; for each year, as well as a copy of each order.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure most of you remember that the Mint provides a print out of the item in the event you need to return it.&nbsp; I keep all of those.&nbsp; I have never, nor will I ever return anything to them.</p><p>I also keep an EXCEL spreadsheet for each item purchased from the Mint.&nbsp; All purchases are kept in a binder in &quot;Scheduled Release&quot; order.&nbsp; </p><p>I guess that because I am retired, I take the time to keep detailed records on everything we own so that our insurance company won&#039;t question our claims.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
