Question for dealers on this forum

Let's say you are going to a major coin show that is 1000 miles away from your home base. You want to have a large inventory selection for the bourse. How do you get your coins to the show if you are flying? Obviously you can't put them in checked luggage, especially now that all luggage must be left unlocked. Carry on? Too many coins? Ship them ahead of time? If you drive to the show there isn't a problem. Really curious about the answer. Thanks.

i doubt dealer would openly discuss their security measures on an open forum. i wouldn't even discuss them with you unless i knew you on a personal basis. with nearly every major show a dealer becomes the victim of a burglary, theft or an occasional armed robbery.
as an aside, there is a pervasive attitude on the part of police agencies that these crimes are not worth pursuing. i've gone to bat in the past for a victimized dealer when the police shrugged their shoulders even when presented with evidence that the victim had gathered.
for the reasons above, and a few more, i find lucybop's comments utterly distasteful. the open forum is rife with ill advised comments. perhaps she should take it there.

Yeah...don't worry. Old hunk of metal like that couldn't catch you anyway...
I suspect that Lucy was merely pointing out that silliness of this thread -- as if any dealer in his cotton-pickin' mind would discuss his personal security on an open forum! Anyhow, that is how I took her comments and found them reasonable with a touch of light humor.

However, you probably should reduce your inventory to only the most expensive ones that will fit in the one suitcase that you may carry on to an airplane with you.
I would never recommend sending coins in checked baggage..
Good luck at the show.
I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.

Frankly, this is a question anybody traveling to or from a show by air should be asking and there are certainly no better experts than the dealers on this board.
