One "woof" from this guard dog & the security system kicks-on.

 

Coins? silver, gold? Not me. Exactly who would show anything on line, I just read coin blogs, I don't own a single penny. Thats my story and I'm sticking to it.

 

I just keep it in the middle of my basement. I figured that someone couldn't steal all of it

 

Whoa!!!!!

 

I only use CAPS albums, they're the best!

 

Except for common date uncirculated rolls of silver and junk silver, all of my coins are certified in slabs, with no off-breed slabs. All are in ANACS, NGC, or PCGS slabs, in other words, even the hammered and ancient coins. They're all kept in two lock boxes at my local bank, which is right across the street from a fire station.

 

That has happened to me (-_-) lol

 

Where do you get pages that hold 6 open Saflips?

 

They are Littleton Albums, Album Covers, Album Pages, Desiccant Pages, and I cut and drill the 100lb. Archival Card Stock. They are considered the Ancients albums (blank). I usually search for good prices, but typically I have been sourcing from wizardcoinsupply.com

I have used them for some time, and they work out great for me.

 

the old fashioned way

 

I'm impressed with many of these storage practices.

 

In a blackish blue plastic and felt tray a got for free at the local coin shop. This is the only way I can look at them all at the same time :-D

 

That's very nice. Which is the point of collecting as a hobby.

 

@Julius Germanicus What an awesome display of beautiful coins! My hat is off to you sir.

 

Higher value coins and gold are stored in a safety deposit box. The rest? I'm not saying, as being slightly paranoid is just plain smart.

 

I don't have much of a collection as I am just starting out, spending the bulk of my time reading about coins on CoinTalk and books. But is it safe to post your collection on this or any site? However, maybe the question should've been asked: "How should coins be stored?" There are so many incorrect ways to store coins and better ways to store Coins, that replies to "how should coins be stored" helps educate those of us who are just beginning a collection, especially those who live in different parts of the country, that have different climates. i.e. Do coins in Salt Lake City have to be store differently than Coins in Florida, or Montana?
I did especially liked learning about the display of the Samsung dry cabinet. I would have never thought of that one. And this question begs for an answer: Are fire safes good for storage, as they have wet walls.
And if your coins are stored in a safety deposit box, do you run to the bank frequently to view and enjoy your collection?

 

Having good pictures of your safety deposit box stored coins lets you enjoy them from far way. The remainder of your questions I'll leave for others.
