<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 115774, member: 4552&quot;]Get yourself a blowtorch and lay out all the duplicates into some kind of design and torch them all together. This will be a fantastic art work display for your front lawn and will be heavy enough not to be easily stolen. You may have to coat the mess with some outdoor clear paint but that shouldn&#039;t ruin the coins to much. </p><p>:whistle:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now for real. I too have over the years been in&nbsp; that situation. However, I just kept on buying Whitman Classic Albums and starting over with the next set of duplicates. For example I am now up to 3 sets of Indian Cents, 10 sets of Lincolns, 2 sets of Liberty Head Nickels, 5 sets of Buffalo Nickels and on and on and on. I recently gave away the 11th set of Lincolns but may start again. Then as I acquired additional coins, if great, they go into set 1, from 1 to 2, 2 to 3, etc. This makes set 1 the best and the last set not so good.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Then comes what to do with the ones after that. </p><p>Next I did what you did. I bought tons of plastic rolls and started to put the excess in them. Then I said to myself I don&#039;t know what I&#039;ve got in there so I invested in thousands of 2x2&quot; cardboard holders and purchased red boxes at a coin show that holds hundreds of them. Each duplicate coin has been slowly put into a 2x2 and labled as to name, date, mint mark. Now I&#039;m up to about almost ten boxes of them. </p><p>I noticed that at coin shows there are lots of people that sell coins just that way. They just lay out those&nbsp; red boxes and say help&nbsp; yourself. All coins in boxes 1,2,3, are for $0.50. All coins in boxes 4,5,6 are for ------ and I may end up doing that next. </p><p>I&#039;ve thought about doing the posting on this and other board stuff but I&#039;m not much into the running to the post office thing, sending stuff out registered or certified mail. </p><p>Maybe the making of an art object with them is a thing to do after all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
