How much should I insure my collection for?

Starting to think about insurance. Collection is maybe 200 pieces, range from 500 rupee pieces to 30,000 rupee pieces. How do you value a mixed collection?

Consider a dedicated collectibles policy rather than adding to home insurance. Usually better coverage.

I insure at replacement value, not purchase price. What would it cost to replace each piece today?

For rare pieces, get professional appraisals. Photos of auction results for similar items help too.

Catalog everything with photos and estimated values. Your insurance company will want documentation.
