[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 8010750, member: 115909"]I understand that but my question was hypothesizing that the museum did not have what they wanted and they asked collectors to help out by letting them use their coins for the exhibit. There are a lot of (very rich) private collectors who have collections that would match or beat an internationally well known museum. In fact there is a British guy named Lord Ashcroft who collects Victoria Crosses (basically the British version of the Medal of Honor here in the US) and has more of them than any museum. He lent his to the museum when there was a plan to bring all of them together in one exhibit. Now it’s true that the average collector does not have a world class collection but my question is was hypothesizing that you did have a world class collection. It was me asking if you’d lend it out temporarily or not. All those millions of dollars in coins. Not necessarily your current collection.[/QUOTE]
