Famous coins aren't usually targeted by thieves since they are too hard to fence. I would pick it up in person and transport it myself. The important thing is to keep ownership and possession secret. If they don't know you have it, they won't be trying to steal it from you.

In 1979 I put the Brasher in my pocket and Walked three blocks to the Continental Bank to deliver it to Walt Pershke (followed by a plain closed cop though). Also put the Norweb 1893-S $1 in my pocket and flew to California in the morning and back to Chicago that afternoon a$1200 hand delivery charge for the plane ticket. The Dexter 1804 went by Brinks to Hugh Sconyers, though. Also carried the unique $500 First Charter NationL Banknote back from Memphis in my brief case. So many high priced things travel without any fanfare and are perfectly safe.

That political cartoon had to be from the 1970's during the Arab oil embargo. Anyone else remember the long gas lines back then?

Back when I recovered the Linderman 1804 dollar, I carried it around in my shirt pocket (bagged and flipped of course) for a few hours before the FBI agent arrived from Denver. I wanted to know exactly where it was.
Later when we were in Rochette's office giving our statements I had it out and was holding it by the edge gazing upon it for a while, and when I was done I put it back in the baggie and the flip and put it back in my shirt pocket. A few minutes later the agent turned towards me and started to ask a question about the coin when he suddenly noticed that it was nowhere to be seen! The man absolutely panicked! "Where's the coin?" he half screamed. I calmly reached into my pocket and handed it to him. He said, incredulously, "You'd put a coin like that in your pocket? I said "Why not? It's the safest way to hold it." He shook his head and we went on.
Comey would have examined it under a loupe for spell and said, "Nice Dime."
A while back, in their annual YN Auction, the ANA offered for sale the original box that they transported their 1913 liberty head nickel around in. It was designed to look as crappy as possible, to deter thieves.

The Hope Diamond was shipped around by registered mail.
Like I carry all of my 1804 dollars, in my shoulder bag or pocket.
Of course they were all made in Mexico
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.
Just like Harry Winston in 1958.......

Remember Harvey Stack’s stories about the Lilly collection, he hand carried everything to Indianapolis in his narrative.

An interesting discussion. Thanks
