Mine are right in the open on the table. Assuming you get past my 2 roties (ugo & igo). Ugo after that one & igo after that one.

Best security system made right there........ADT takes too long.....and the cops take too long to arrive.

"Protected by PAW POWER FORCE" and "backed up by Smith & Wesson" should do rather nicely in a warning sign !......
Rest in Peace

I keep mine at home, don't get to show it off. It's kept in a bedroom where no one other than myself goes.
As my other hobby is furniture building, first, the cabinet for bulk and supplies.

Then the albums - a Federal style desk with hutch added. The inlaid coin in the door is a tarnished ASE.

With the desktop open. I haven't put the glass in the doors yet, so my cat likes jumping inside.

jgfindring: That is some beautiful furniture! What wood is the front of that cabinet, mahogany? It has a very cool cartwheel effect!

I keep the expensive stuff in a bank vault, and the more common stuff at home.
Rest in Peace

Good pick rkp. The front of the cabinet is bookmatched cuban mahogany veneer laid out in a sunburst pattern. The coin inlaid in the center is a replica 1933 St. Gaudens. I solve the "where to store expensive stuff" the easy way. I can't afford really expensive coins, so don't need to store them.
