Many people are keen to accumulate as many coins as they possibly can and are perhaps focused on completion of a series. This means many coins and storage limitations. Many more than can be fitted into bank box with standard boxes. I myself have determined years ago that my collection be small. I dont have the interest in completion of any series or sets, just whatever captures my attention.

More likely (but still unlikely) is a mention such as "from the Dorney estate" after I die and assuming I'm still in business at the time of my proverbial bucket being kicked, probably by my wife). Its too small and invaluable in the overall market but pleases me and that is all that matters. As such, I like to display them in Abafil.
