[QUOTE="10gary22, post: 1007316, member: 23626"]If you are handy and like to keep your gold close, I like floor safes cemented in. Of course whatever option you choose for storing the coins themselves can be put in Ziplock storage bags then secreted in the safe. For the common circulated mint sets. I use the Dansco Books with the slides. Then you can show both sides of each coin for conversation. Better coins are slabbed and in storage boxes, stored in bank vaults. Mostly, I use magnifiers and am still looking for an optimum combo. I have a magnifying lamp 7x that I use in tandem with a triplet loupe 10x,20x,30x. Thin cotton gloves. Small bent needlenose pliers. Stapler. Large tupperware lids for sort trays. etc Tools are all about what and how you collect.
