I have lent coins to several special exhibitions at western Canadian universities. All very professional, insured, well protected etc. It was an honour! For one of them I got to design the displays. Here's an example. Too wordy, but I liked my posters anyway. :D They were right up against the glass (behind, of course!), and visitors had access to magnifiers so they could see the coins well.
