Good question.
Probably that I would never manage to finish the British coin reference website (coinsgb.com) I am working on to a standard that I am happy to publish. Or that after many months of work nobody actually visited, or used it.

There's a pretty good chance that your fear will be realized. Most of the ones I have seen are pretty beat up UNCs.

Just don't crack it, and go for an upgrade!!!!!! I'll make it a 99.99% chance of coming back in a bodybag.................
AND, RIGHTLY SO!!!!
As funny as it sounds, the coins that would hurt the most for me to lose are ones that are probably the least valuable, and already problem coins. No, I am not referring to my Holey Coin Vest and Holey Gold Hat, either, though the loss of either would hurt terribly.
I'm referring to those often-crusty, sometimes-corroded, sometimes-ugly, but sentimentally priceless "treasure" coins I dug out of the ground myself over the years, while out detecting. My detector find album has a few pieces in it with some value, but mostly they're just sentimentally valuable to me.
If, heaven forbid, our home should burn down with them inside it, that would be a horrible nightmare. Not to mention the loss of all our other possessions and our pets, which are priceless. I'd chuck all my coins into the flames to save our critters, but it's horrific to think about.
Hopefully history won't repeat itself. We purchased this land from a coworker of mine, whose mobile home burnt down on it.
During the property transfer, I also found out that another previous owner died on this property of a gunshot wound- some said it was suicide, but the official paperwork said it was accidental.
We don't own any guns (the neighbors have more than enough) and hopefully the fire spirits have already had their fill from this property, so I reckon we're safe now, except from tornadoes, hurricanes and/or flooding. It doesn't feel like "cursed" property at all to us- feels more like home. Which it is.
I've paid my dues to the thieves of the world three or four times over the last five years, too (though not at home), so hopefully that's outta the way, too.
OK, all disturbing thoughts about fire and theft and disaster will now go away.
