The world we live in I understand for security reasons people keep coins in SDB and have pictures of there coins to look at but I cant enjoy my coins unless I have them on hand to look at anytime ! So how many are like me ? If your just going to look at a picture do you really need to own the coin

    Combination of 300 lb safe, monitored security system, and coins that just aren't worth all THAT much. ;).

    Depends on whether the coin in hand is better or worse than the pictures ;)

    I eventually have all of my coins imaged (TrueView or otherwise) so I can "show and tell" wherever I go. The coins themselves are locked away and I look at them periodically. It also provides a historical reminder of what I used to possess after I sell them. I do post the images every once in a while that I have sold, but I use the moniker "used to be mine".

    I keep my coins at home but their value is minimal...a thief would never survive my attack cats

    I collect little round things... coins and bullet holes.
