<p>[QUOTE="coppermania, post: 829312, member: 18304"]I am often open about what and why I collect. I don't think that marks me as a target or a SOFT target. It doesn't mean that you can follow me home and find nice coins or that coins would even be kept at my house or even unsecured if they were. Coins are easy to hide and protect. I don't usually brag about any exceptional coins I own with fellow club members because many of them can't afford much and I don't need to do that to validate myself. If the opportunity to share arrives I usually do because I'm enthusiastic about collecting and I don't like feeling sneeky and secretive about it. If I am worried about anything it is a good idea to carry pictures of a coin instead of the actual coin itself. Although it is mainly a personal enjoyment, I don't worry about losing it through conversation. My collection is substantially smaller than say a dealer that traveles with an inventory and I don't think they worry much if they take the right precausions. Just my opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
