[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 3253783, member: 59737"]I have my coins loosely broken down into three categories: investment (thus private), private (hoard coins plus more valuable ones) and then the ones I share so others can see. The military life causes me to move a lot, which makes any sort of displaying practically impossible. I've determined that at my next job, I will have a small tray of coins that I think people will find interesting. I'll put coins there that I'd be willing to lose (because yes, even in the military, people steal things) and hope that they'll be conversation starters. For my world type set, I have binders full of 2x2s organized alphabetically by country that people can flip through and see the many current and demonetized coins of the world. These I'm happy to share with anyone who demonstrates an interest in collecting. I'll never get the value out of them I paid making them and they're just fun to have around. I do not actively try to add to them as it has grown quite extensive (in my opinion). As far as the private stuff, those things are locked away in safes and hobby rooms. I may post a photo on CT, but unfortunately, having it easy to access also puts them at risk for theft. I continue to put a domain/website on my christmas list (I have an IT teacher and an electrical engineer in my wife's side of the family) and hope to one day create a website where I can share all of my coins semi-anonymously. Even if they're tucked away in a safe, people will be able to enjoy looking at them.[/QUOTE]
