<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Valentinian, post: 3328288, member: 44316&quot;]Almost all of mine are in the bank in boxes in flips except for some of the most-recent purchases. The few coins at home are in Abafil trays. For all my coins I have physical photos on 5x8 cards and digital photos in files on the computer. </p><p><br /></p><p>Over the years I&#039;ve had a few serious collectors over to talk coins and mostly they do not want to see <b>my</b> coins. Several times long ago I brought a box home for one friend or another to look at that didn&#039;t get looked at because he preferred to talk about buying and look at a box of my coins for sale. Far more than they want to see <b>my</b> coins they want to see something they can buy that they could turn into <b>their</b> coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>That&#039;s okay. I spent years collecting alone and learning from books and articles. I appreciate <b>my</b> coins because of what is in <b>my</b> head. I don&#039;t (and you don&#039;t) need the approval of others. Sites like CoinTalk have changed things; we are not so isolated any more and others can click that they &quot;like&quot; our posts. However, your ancient coins connect to history and what <b>you</b> know about them regardless of whether anyone near you, or on CoinTalk, appreciates them. The important thing is that <b>you</b> appreciate your coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
