I originally downloaded the 'trial' version, but then upgraded. He (developer) usually updates it annually. I've been quite pleased with the software. Most coins in the 'catalogue' have a 'file picture' of the coins, but you can add up to 3 pictures of your own. There is an information page to show when and where you bought the coins, and other 'user defined' places for putting coins together in sets etc. You can download the trial version and full versions here: http://www.libertystreet.com/canadi...software.htmAlso available for USA and UK. NO, I am not the proprietor of this website - I put it here for information only and have no connection to it what so ever. |

I display my coins in the exact same display case as MoneyPenney.
The reason I collect coins is because I like looking at them, and while yes, I could have them stored somewhere and pull them out to look at, I would rather have them on display - I (apparently a minority in this) like having them out when people come over. If someone knows me well enough to know that I collect coins, they also know me well enough that breaking into my house is not a good idea. If hypothetically someone were to break in, or even if there was just a fire/flood/tornado in the house and the coins were destroyed...to me that wouldn't be the end of the world. I would be much more concerned about someone breaking in/fire/flood/what have you/ and people I care about being hurt. Also, the coins are probably the least valuable items in the house, so I would be more concerned with other stuff being stolen or damaged. It would probably cost me more to replace the windows/door that were damaged in a burglary (not to mention legal fees after the burglar was partially eaten by the dogs)than it would be to replace the coins.

Ok so lots of opinions on security on displaying or not displaying your coins which is good , but has anyone thought about latent damage to your coins/boxs/coa in the sunlight/dust/smoke , I really dont know much about it as most of my coins are stashed away but I do want to display more of them but am a bit concerned about long term damage from fading coas/colored coins etc, etc. Thoughts?

Mine are kept in a closed cabinet in the basement, in a dark corner where the sun cannot reach. I have a dehumidifier that works 24/7 during the humid months of summer. I also place an Eva-Dry dehumidifier in the cabinet. We have a smoke free house.
I have been collecting NCLT, MS circulation coins and banknotes for over 20 years. They all look the way they did the day I bought them.

Mine were in my custom built cabinet in the walk-in closet... Most of them are sold now but this is where I kept them, away from direct sunlight and humidity.   |

So, Canadian_Coins, have you really 'sold most of them'? I'm considering re-building the family wealth by liquidating my collection - how did you sell them? Dealer? ebay? (feel free to pm me) |

WOW, it's so beautiful! How much did it cost to build. I think I need to find a carpenter.

Thank you all for the comments. The cost was less than $100 if I recall. I used cheaper pine for most of the major pieces, plywood in the back and base. The frame and doors I used harder maplewood. Took me a good weekend to build, and lots of beer...

That's really amazing c_c, because I have always found that the more beer involved the less likely you are to wind up with something as nice looking as your cabinet. Plus there's that whole alcohol/power tool thing...
