[QUOTE="calcol, post: 2665931, member: 77639"]I think many of us try to keep a low public profile about coin collecting for obvious security reasons. For some, it's just not possible because they're a dealer, an officer in a club, write articles or books, etc. At present, I keep a fairly low profile. Those who know are family, close friends, a few other collectors, grading services, and some dealers. I'm writing a couple of articles though, and if published, I'll be thoroughly "outed". My coins are in a safe deposit box, but that doesn't mean bad guys won't come looking for them at my house. It's a risk I'm prepared to take. I'm curious though about how many of you try to keep a low profile about your hobby. Whom do you tell, and whom do you specifically try to keep from knowing? And for those whom you tell, do you reveal the value of your collection? (And yes, I'm a grammar freak whom some of you know, and who's glad to talk to whomever whose coins are of mutual interest!o_O) Cal[/QUOTE]
