I will add a picture of mine when I get off work but I built a 2 shelf 3 sided box to store all my coins. However it is too small to actually SHOW any of them unless I pull my albums or open the proofs, ect. so, I'd like to see how everyone else stores and shows their coins.

I commissioned a small coin cabinet to store my coins. I don't necessarily show them in it, but the drawers are lined with felt and you can pull them out to display I guess. I can post pics when I get home.

I store my coins all over my living room floor, the kitchen table, all dressers and nightstands in my bedroom, on the TV, my chess board, I think I even have a few stored in my DVD rack and in the refrigerator.

Otherwise it's a large ugly steel welders box or the Lincoln sort board.

Same here, only I took the ones outta the fridge, the wife was getting a little upset when 83 rolls of wheaties would fall out and hit her in the foot. About half of mine are in pages in PVC free binders, Harris and Dansco albums, and all over the house in ziplock bags. I do have a few hundred (the best and most valuable) in safe deposit boxes.

I just put all mine on a table on the front porch. Probably the safest place since no one would think anything of value would be left out in the open.
Most are really in 5 safe deposit boxes.

Store my coins? LOL! You gotta be kidding!

A bedroom converted to an office, the closet of that bedroom, the shelves in the closet of my bedroom, a whole wall of the garage, two different car-size storage units, and a fourth of my uncle's workshop.

3 Large Safety Deposit boxes.....coin table......shelves.....closets......behind things.......on things.....beside things......in things.

I actually like Metalman's "storage" container the most. It's a converted mailbox cabinet of some sort.
Maybe if he sees this he'll post another picture of it ! .....

Boy everyone has a totally different way of storing. WOW! Yes I will get some picts up now that I have my camera back. I'm just a neat freeak and I also like to be able to see my coins and have them near. I'll have to build something bigger as what I built is already full!

This is pretty much everything, they go in the safe when I'm not looking through them or adding things.
