My Collection Post Yours

IMO Coin tubes are better than paper rolls, they can be a little more air-tite and some paper roll can cause coins to tone more. The tube do have more of a expense 30 to 60 cents a tube. I like the square tubes because they stack and store better.




Mkman123 - The metallic holder with the red felt trays is a Lighthouse coin case, I use it for my set of uncirculated commemorative dollars. There are many different size trays you can purchase and the one picture holds six trays, they make a 12 tray model.

Mine is not really original at all...eight lighthouse trays of my 7070 slabbed collection in my strong box. I will try to pop off a few shots in between my two jobs and college classes.

I owe, I owe, it's off to work I go...

I'll post a picture of my collection later tonight but you wont be getting any organizational ideas from me. If I was allowed to have those double sided 2x2 holders my organization would be way better. My fiance would rather me take up a small portion in a back room.

Stamp collection on bottom shelf.













I haven't posted the whole coin collection online yet like the stamp collection. Still scanning the pages.

This subject comes up often. What we should or should not post online.

IMO .. most all of us here have coins. We talk about them, post pictures of them when we make new purchases, and when we complete sets.

I read a lot of posts. With little effort I could name members that have large collections and very valuable coins .. even if they don't post many pictures of their collection. Some have a lot of gold coins .. some have high grade type sets or high grade Mercury and Lincoln sets.

Beside the fact most people have a lot of things in their homes that have value. Most thieves look for homes that look like they are easy to get in and out of.

The best we can do is to make your home as secure as possible. I have dogs and guns .. high fences. Most of my security camera's are in place with Net access, I can pull my camera's up on my laptop when I am away from home.
I also have a friend working on a UNIX script that will send me a alert when the motion sensors are triggered.
Part of this set up is with my military background .. but none of it is that hard to set up.

I do put most of my higher value coins in my bank SDB and I have a heavy safe at home. Some say a safe gets moved in .. it can be moved out. To me the trick is to get a safe so heavy that it is very hard to move empty. Then put a couple hundred pound of guns, coins and ammunition.

I believe in taking precautions, but when I have to much fear of losing my coins .. then I will sell them all

Larsdog...you need to shore up that bottom shelf.

52Raymo, my thoughts exactly! Talk about "Heavy Metal"!
