The Collectibles Policy
Just $75 insures your collection up to $10,000
• Compare this affordable annual premium with the value of your cherished collectibles
• Then consider the broad protection you get with this all-risk, agreed-value coverage
• There is simply no better value anywhere
Homeowners Insurance often has significant coverage limitations that apply to various collections, especially with regard to full value replacement. The Collectibles policy is affordable and covers most collections in the household. Claims are paid on an agreed amount basis, and the deductible is $100 per occurrence. We do not typically require professional appraisals or inventories.
