Specie insurance can cover an enormous range of assets. The most common types that Keystone covers are paintings, prints and drawings, bullion and precious stones, watches, and jewellery. Collections of wine and spirits are also regularly covered. But there is a range of quirky and unexpected objects in the portfolio, some examples of which are listed below.
These sorts of assets can be insured because they are stored/displayed appropriately, and where they might normally be an everyday used object, these ones are treated instead as collectibles or a form of art:
- Wooden boats and pleasure craft (in storage, not on water)
- Racing vehicles and sports/special cars (garaged only)
- Faberge eggs
- Personal letters of significance from a particular period, event, or person
- Olympic torches from Melbourne 1956 and Sydney 2000 Games
- Pokemon and sporting cards
- Antique firearms
- Colonial and European furniture
- Toys
- Rare books, first editions, and early publications
- Couture clothing, distinctive sporting wear, signed football jerseys, items worn by sports stars and adventurers
- Silk and woolen rugs and mats
- Michael Jordan basketball shoes and other sporting memorabilia.
