<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gam3rBlake, post: 8010702, member: 115909&quot;]I read an interesting article a few weeks ago about a guy who donated a lot of his collection to a museum for 2 years because they were doing a special exhibit (if I remember correctly it was on Ptolemaic Egypt) and he had many coins of that type.</p><p><br /></p><p>But while reading the article it made me wonder: Would the average collector loan their coins to a museum or university for a special exhibit or educational purposes for the enjoyment of thousands of people or for study at a university by reputable &amp; credentialed professors?</p><p><br /></p><p>The following conditions would apply:</p><p><br /></p><p>1). The museum/university is internationally reputable and so there is no worry about “sketchy” credentials.</p><p><br /></p><p>2). Your coins would be insured by the museum/university in the event of theft, damage, or loss.</p><p><br /></p><p>3). All of your coins would be returned to you in 2 years after the end of the exhibit.</p><p><br /></p><p>4). The exhibit would have your name as the donor (if you chose to remain anonymous that would be honored).</p><p><br /></p><p>5). The people involved with the museum/university are well trained and educated on the handling and storage of coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>What do you think? Would you lend them out?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
