not with my family ;). I have a sister who was not put out on the right foot, she's 21 and still lives at home, a shoe box is suspicious especially when she can't find my safe. she would never try to break into my safe if she knew where it was but if she found a shoe box full of coins some would be gone.

It makes it tough when you can't trust your own family.

it just sucks when no one else in your family collects, I'm scared that my 2$ UNC devils face will buy someone a coffee one day.

For your most cherished coins, bank SDB. I've had mine there for 7 years now, without a problem.
If you get a home safe, the large gun safes are the way to go.
Extremely tough and extremely heavy.

Ahh.... to hide coins in the house.. we have a safe which has a few very common coins in it, but we have a hidden wall that comes apart in the closet that holds our very expensive and dear coins behind.  As far as a SDB one has to go to the bank when it's open to show or see your coins, not that convenient I think.. |

Thats my issue with that method I like to look at my coins to much, now if I ever got lucky and got a 50k or 6 figure coin sent back to me from a grading company for something like that Id go with the SDB |

I dont have anything of worth, but on the bank subject: I like to collect coins, therefore I like to be able to see my collection. At any point, I can get up and go have a look at *everything* in that collection.

I know what you mean about your coins being a distraction. Maybe try keeping them with you and using some self control as to when you play with them. The other thing I do is only use the funds in my PayPal account to buy coins or coin accessories. I transfer a set amount each month and if I need more, I have to raise the funds by selling something, kinda like doing a swap.

ECS, I do the same thing, I call it "Sideways movement". For example, I sell a few DVD/Bluray movies I am not interested in anymore to buy some coins, or recently, I sold all of my $20/$20 RCM coins, and converted them into Silver Maples. Sideways movement. Sell one entertainment/consumer good to finance the purchase of another. As long as you don't figure you'll miss/want to re-buy the sold item, it's a smart strategy. |

Well, if you are like me, you focused your collecting after getting a bit of everything at first. Why not have a do over on some early purchases? One of the benefits of our hobby is an almost complete lack of depreciation!

For storage how do you currently have them?
If theyre in 2x2s you can get binder pages for them and put them in there which helps with knowing where everything is instead of having a bunch of boxes laying around. Great for looking at them as well
