Most collectors want to keep their collections at home to look at and enjoy, so I cannot blame anyone for not inviting over their neighbours for a coin showing. After what happened in the US in 1933/34, most do not want their govt. to know either.</p><p><br /></p><p>Second point/ museums also get looted. Look what happened in Iraq when the Country was in chaos. As Tejas correctly stated, private collections are much better cared for/ curated.</p><p><br /></p><p>Common sense is so hard to find.
