<p>[QUOTE="Terence Cheesman, post: 8012212, member: 86498"]I guess it depends on where you live. I would imagine if I were living in London Paris, Berlin or any other major center with large numismatic holdings there would be little or no need for me to do so. I have in the past lent out coins to museums here in Edmonton as well as in Calgary and in Saskatoon in Saskatchewan. I have never had any problems. The only issue that I did have was that one of the displays lasted for something like three years. That was a bit long. I know that one of the displays actually travelled and it might have made it to Sweden. Not all of the coins that were in the display were expensive. In fact two of the displays were on Christianity and thus consisted mostly of Late Roman bronzes. One display which looked at portraiture in the ancient world featured this coin.</p><p>Tetradrachm of Ptolemy I 300-283 BC Obv. Head right diademed aegis tied around neck.
