<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 131400, member: 4626"]I show them mainly to my family when I can get them interested in them. My father and grandfather have some interest, but not much. My younger brother seems a bit more interested. I look at them myself quite often. I keep them in my apartment, it has a monitored alarm system so not too worried about security, and there aren't very many especially valuable coins in there anyway. I collect by type usually (do have year and mintmark collections of a few US coins though) and most of my coins are world coins I have interest in but don't have much intrinsic value. Do have a few interesting world silver coins though, especially Canadian and Mexican coins I got frm my grandmother. I decided that any coin I have that exceed $200 in value I'd keep in my safety deposit box. So far that only appiles to an 1875-S 20 cent piece (ANACS EF 40) that I recently bought. I love obsoletw US cois that msot people don't even know existed lol... so fat have a 2, 3 and 20 cent, and have been trying to acquire a US half cent lately. I get outbid on eBay a lot lol... I want a coin that is at least recognizable for what it is but not too expensive, probably want at least a Fine or so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
