How do you display/store your finds?

[Mi$$ouri Jim]

I am finally attempting to put all my coin finds in a display book & want some advice. I am looking for something a bit of a step up from the standard stapled coin holders & regular walmart 3-ring binders. But not as high/expensive as plastic coin holders. Leather or leather-looking binders that zip up or reside in slipcases are more to what I am looking for. Any advice on a product?


Also.... please show or tell what you keep/display your finds in. I am curious & may find something I like.

i used to put my coins in books but then I found nobody ever looked at them.
Now I just display the stuff in wall displays that I make.
People notice the stuff and want to know more.
The big display needs some TLC.. been thinking i need to add mini shelves and clean it up.
Not that I've found anything worth a crap this year....

where in Mo are you?

Nice display! Arent you afraid of it getting stolen? In my place.... I'd be deathly afraid of my stuff getting stolen while I was away at work. All it takes is one break in.

Putting all my silver coins & rings, my few gold rings (with diamonds) on display for anyone to see when they enter my home would be a tempting target for thieves. The other finds (few civil war finds & household-type finds) would probably be ignored by thieves.

I plan on locking my stuff up. i worked too hard finding every single one to risk them being stolen.

Yeah, I have kept mine in small containers inside an old tacklebox... lol!


I wish they made books with pages that allowed one to store the more thicker finds like rings, thimbles etc.. while still protecting them. I like the idea of having all my finds in one big binder that i can pull out & show to people.

I have found some very nice diamond rings and I keep those locked in a safe. I would do the same thing with anything else I found of truly great value. ( I also live in a fairly crime free area. )
and .... Yes....... I would hate to see all my coins stolen, but they came free to me and the experience of finding them is what I find to be of value. Coins from the ground are worth little more than face value unless it happens to be a very rare coin in the first place.. .... so I display them.. under the watchful eyes of the sleeping guard dog............
