<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 7775914, member: 77639&quot;]I consider the people I actually know at club meetings to be honest and have no fear of them pocketing coins that are passed around.&nbsp; But at large meetings, I don’t know most of the people or their morals.&nbsp; I do consider coin collectors to be a lot more honest than the general population though.</p><p><br /></p><p>Still at large meetings, I’m hesitant to pass around valuable coins.&nbsp; At show-and-tell, I can finish with “At the break, come and see me if you want a closer look.” instead of passing the coin around.&nbsp; However, there are several downsides to this approach.&nbsp; It sends a message of “I don’t trust you.”, which can seem especially bad if a more valuable coin gets passed around by someone else.&nbsp; It forces me to stay put.&nbsp;&nbsp; And a lot fewer people look at the coin(s).</p><p><br /></p><p>One possible solution might be to have a giant (at least 12” x 12”) plastic slab with a cover held in place with screws.&nbsp;&nbsp; It would have multiple compartments for coins (most of mine are NGC or PCGS).&nbsp; Tough to swipe but easily passed around.&nbsp; I could construct it easily enough.&nbsp; I could also make a stand to secure it for more viewing after it gets passed around.</p><p><br /></p><p>Does anyone else worry about coins disappearing at club meetings or have seen it happen?&nbsp; Are there other solutions?</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
