At one time I had an 1938 Proof nickel wasn't an ordinary 38 proof it was #21 of 150 of a set of souvenir cards that Felix Schlag had made and signed. These were given to family and close friends of his. It was the size of legal paper nicely framed. However I didn't want to hang it on the wall. One reason its value. So for years it sat in a safe for safe keeping. Until the day I sold it. My suggestion now is one I wish I had thought of years ago. Have you set(s) imaged ,by one of the many numismatics photography experts here. Then have them printed on some nice stock and framed. Place the real coins in a safe place,and enjoy the coins in your collection visually daily. True not quite the same, but safer and you can enjoy your coin displayed every day.
