I have my coins in many types of holders: Whitman albums, 7070, cardboard 2x2s, and plastic 2x2s.

While these are all practical methods for storage, I keep thinking there must be a more attractive way to display them whenever I want to show them off.

What do you do?

I'm not into really displaying my coins, heck I'm not hardly organized enough to say with confidence I can find any given coin at any given moment but alot of display type guys like the Capitol plastics holders. They're aestheticly pleasing and made of superior quality. Only rub is some can be extremely difficult to find and most are relatively expensive.

First you must ask how many coins to you want to display at once ? A dozen or a thousand ? Just use type coins or most or all of a series ? I have many more questions before I could answer. I hope this helps you.

I don't know if its attractive, but I keep my coins in an old machinist's tool chest. Each drawer has it's own denomination coin in it. So, if I buy a dollar, or half, etc. I just pull that drawer out and put in it's place.

Lowest drawer holds my supplies (for now) and the top compartment I keep all my moderns.....

In most areas and towns, displaying coins, knives, guns, stamps, etc. is just not smart. Yes it is nice to think you could be proud of what you have but many would rather take them for free. Not even smart to tell people what you have. In some areas not even smart to let people see you buying things. If you watch the news you would see crime is very, very real and displaying something like coins, could only lead to more problems.
This is why I always mention how many people like to brag about the rich, book appearances of Dansco Albums and then hide them away.

im not worried about any one stealing my coins, maybe if I had a $10,000++ type collection id rethink the way I display my coins. I prefer to have my sets in coin boards framed under glass and hanging. if not a coin board id go for probably a dansco album.

Certainly not without a certain charm. I like it.

I like the Coin World Premier Coin slabs, I get to put a label on each coin with origin, number, denomination, year, mint and mintage, and Troy content, if any. I'd rather keep them all flat in drawers, for viewing, but the red boxes stack in the safe a lot better.

The days are long gone where we could leave coin and stamp collections, gun cabinets, and other valuables out in the open in our living rooms, and show it to all who dropped by.

When I say "display," I mean when you take them out for special occasions to show off. I didn't mean having them out and being displayed permanently.

I do like the idea of the nice cabinets with the removable drawers.

I picked up one of these recently and I love it. There a little pricey but they're very high quality. I think they're made in Germany and exported to the states.

You can get them with different kind of drawers. The one I bought is made to hold slabs.

If you have a lot of coins to display, you might consider doing what a buddy collector of cartridges did for his collection of thousands of pieces. He bought two old armoires, the antique standing closets, and modified the interiors to hold dozens of large bakery trays, lined with cotton and felt. His collections sits nicely in the trays and is readily accessed. I've seen an old wooden flat file fixed up the same way, nicely refinished, sits out in the den as good furniture.
