Why a Homeowners Policy is Inadequate
Standard homeowner’s insurance policies often fall short when it comes to high-value collectibles like coins. Relying on a general policy leaves gaps in coverage that could result in significant financial loss.
- Limited Coverage Amounts: Home policies typically cap the coverage for collectibles at amounts far below the true value of rare or numismatic coins.
- Exclusions for Specific Perils: Standard policies may exclude risks like theft, mysterious disappearance, or accidental damage during transport.
- Inadequate Appraisal Processes: Coins require precise valuation based on their condition, rarity, and market demand—an area most standard policies do not account for.
- High Deductibles: Home insurance deductibles can make claims impractical for partial losses.
