What do you want sitting in your SDB or buried in your backyard for the next 10 years without any chance to sell it for the next decade?

Most of my coin collection. I’ve been sitting on art and other collections for at least the last 20 years. Strange question for a collector.
What is the witness Andy, Ill take obvious answers for 200$ next please

Why do we need to be in jail for 10 years? Can’t we be prohibited from selling during that time period, by means or a much more dignified option? 😉

Mebbe the collection is stolen.
I am uneasy with the question but I will play.
I don't have much to stash away so I wouldn't be worried about that.
I would only hope my family could make it in this crazy world without me for 10 years.
A 10 year sentence would make a person a felon.
So at almost 70 I wouldn't be able to vote or be trusted operating a cash register.
So that's my take on it.
Most people won't discuss what they have tucked away. Safety reasons, etc........

I want whatever I stole that got me thrown in jail to be buried and waiting for me when I get out. Since I’m not normally a criminal, it would have had to be a once in a lifetime score to make it worth spending 10 years in prison for 😉

my dang lawyer who messed up cross exam and closing arguments.
Almost anything tangible. My current collection will do.
Everything!
Can I atleast claim that I was wrongly convicted?
BTW, I don't think I'd trust a safe deposit box over a ten year absence. I'd be afraid that either the bank or my stuff would be gone.
Myself. They'll never look for me there.

All the money I stole from the bank that I am being sentenced to 10 years for.
Man these posters “answers” are so disappointing.
I’d put away:
I 've had stuff in my SDB (in jail) for a life sentence. And there is no parole for them in the near future.

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
I hope you were including your answer among the “so disappointing” ones.😈

Bullion in the form of $20 slabbed Libs and Saints, to preserve wealth as inflation destroys our fiat currency
Thinking of the rare coins I'd put away, I would say none as I am very concerned that the lack of interest by young people or gradeflation and loss of trust in subjective grading could damage our hobby and make it as popular as stamp collecting has become.

I hope i get a cell, and not a minimum security open dorm.
Can I bury it on Oak Island to ensure that it's never found?
It's all about what the people want...

My completed 1916 uncirculated mint set cent through St Gaudens.
And I'll be in jail for the robbery to get the cash for the 16-D dime and SLQ that I need, and while I'm at it I better take enough for that 1922 no D SR cent to complete my Lincoln wheat set.
Oh, and a dress so that I can get into the women's prison where I'll get beat up marginal less often.
Nothing, sell all of it and put the proceeds in a high interest savings account or something for the next 10 years.
Collector, occasional seller
@MFeld what coins would you pick to put away for the next decade if value appreciation was your goal?
(You won’t be able to see them in the meantime so it doesn’t matter that much if you’re interested in the series)
Probably the best answer. Why do I want a coin collection that I can't see for 10 years? Can't spend it as the commissary.

I realize that this isn’t an interesting answer. But I wouldn’t put anything away for the next decade, based on a goal of appreciation - especially when I couldn’t see and enjoy it in the interim.

Actually, it's similar to my answer above, so it is fascinating! Lol.The real issue is what the OP wants the question to be. As asked, it could be one of two things.
The way it was phrased, everyone is assuming he's asking about investment value of the coins over a 10 year window. I think that's what he meant, in which case jail is an unnecessary distraction. The question could simply have been: what coins do you think have the greatest chance of appreciating over the next 10 years?
The other way he could have meant it, in which case jail is relevant, if it wasn't about the monetary value of the coins but was about the coins themselves. What coins would you want waiting for you when you get out? Although, jail is still unfortunate because I would hope you wouldn't be most excited to get to your SDB upon release. [Although you never know around here. ]

That 1776 escudo sold for $2400 at Stacks last year.
Less than the buyer's premium at this sale!
The smart don't get caught or are government connected... maybe you're doing it wrong?
Wouldn't fit in the SDB but definitely could be buried:
At my age, in 10 years, I wouldn't be alive to dig the coin up!
So if that’s what can happen in one year, imagine how much money you could make serving a 10 year sentence!
