[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 832648, member: 112"]Howdy Apples - Welcome to the Forum !! I enjoyed your post, and yes your collection does look great ! But rather than the security concerns that others have mentioned - I have a quite different concern. What is that collection going to look like in a few years ? First of all, it's hanging exposed in your house. Exposed to all airborne contaminants, all of the cooking oils and grease that is put into the air inside your house every time you fix dinner. All of the gases put into the air by your heating system. All of the humidity changes that take place in your home day after day, year after year. All of the stuff put into the air everytime you/your wife uses hairspray, spray deoderant, air freshener, furniture polish or spray/squirt cleaners. Then you have that cardboard display, the wood frame and its finish, the paint on the wall etc etc. Yup, all of that stuff, and a whole lot more, is getting on your coins - day after day. Now forget about somebody stealing them as that could happen but is unlikely. But what are those coins going to look like next year ? Think you'll still like them ? Sorry to add an even more depressing aspect - but that is reality.[/QUOTE]
