<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeepfreak81, post: 24846524, member: 93888&quot;]First I&#039;d like to preface this thread by saying, I&#039;m a low budget collector.&nbsp; I don&#039;t think I own a coin worth more than $50 or so.&nbsp; I own zero gold, I have some silver but most of it is modern bullion coins and kept in my safe.</p><p><br /></p><p>So with that out of the way, I&#039;ve been thinking lately of a way to store and also easily view some of my coins, especially those that end up in air-tite holders and the like (I know, they&#039;re not actually air tight). </p><p><br /></p><p>As you might have guess by my first sentence, I&#039;m looking for an inexpensive solution, but not so cheap that it loses all appeal.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m looking for ideas, suggestions, and things to watch out for.&nbsp; I found a couple of great threads here, I think both in the ancients section with some very nice cabinets that people have found and converted or restored.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d like to do something similar, find a piece of furniture or some type of large jewelry box maybe, and repurpose it.&nbsp; My first thought was a machinists&#039; toolbox, only because I used to do some machining, but I no longer have one and any used one may be riddled with oils and grease.&nbsp; What are some good ideas to watch out for or use.&nbsp; I&#039;m ok with doing some woodworking.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lastly, even though my collection is on the cheap side and largely modern, I&#039;d still like to avoid things that will ruin my coins.&nbsp; I realize anything that out gasses has potential to affect them and I accept that, I just don&#039;t want to buy or use something that will make them look awful in a hurry.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS - sorry for the long post, I get carried away <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
