Insured or not, would you replace it?

Edited to add: The theft has taken place no matter WHERE you kept the coins.

    Where's the option for "It's NOT insured, and I would go on an insane killing spree". imageimageimage
  • It's one of those procrasted things. . .no insurance. If it were stolen, I would give up coin collecting.

    It's NOT insured and I don't know what I'd do.

    It is insured and I would do the same thing I did the last time it happened...CRY!!! Then curse, and start all over again.
    Just because I'm old doesn't mean I don't love to look at a pretty bust.

    It's just a fun hobby to me.image

    Not insured but all serial numbers are recorded and or high res. photo documented. I'd spend much time checking auctions for a person to hang.
  • I am uninsured and I would start fresh by buying a coin about three years from now. No more common stuff for me!
  • ............I have a lot more time than money invested in coins,...At this point time is more important and I would invest it in something different...,.Travel maybe........image
  • This is hard to even think about. My collection is not insured and I KNOW there is no way I could possibly rebuild it. But after 35 years of studying numismatics itis so much a part of me that I do not think I could just walk away from it. I would probably still collect but probably not with the same intensity. I would probably throw my self more heavily in to studying the field.
  • insured and rebuild it, with a bonus I would try to eleiminate the bloodline of the bastage that stole it.
