<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 24853739, member: 92655"]I'll just say this one thing for your own edification..... Many years ago when my coin collection was quite humble, I too liked to have my beloved coins close at hand and easy to admire and show off... I also had a habit of leading extended family youngsters to the collection to pull out an old Merc or something interesting to give them. That worked fine for me for many years..... Then some years back my favorite nephew was between jobs and wanted to stay in my guest room. No problem at all... Until I came home from work and he was gone and I found a Morgan dollar on my floor.... This beloved nephew had walked out of my house with my very accessible and quite humble coin collection and dropped a Morgan in his haste..... I confronted him and my collection was returned... But the lesson here is you never know who in your life may run into hard times and may resort to doing something they wouldn't normally do..... These days my collection isn't quite as humble and I own three safes as well as a safe deposit box.... I learned my lesson the hard way. Secure those coins![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
