I just don’t want anyone to think I’m trying to seek attention. Normally I don’t post this much I’ve just picked up alot of cool coins lately.
But then we might think you are hoarding all your good fines and not sharing them with us 😜😅

I do know where you are coming from. But over the years on forums I have learned people get excited for others when they see cool coins like this rather than thinking the person is showing off. For some of us the only people we can share our fun from getting a new coin with is forum friends. Share away - the more the merrier!

If mine were more accessible to me (safe deposit), I would take more pics and share as well.

Why don't you get a safe and keep them at home? Eventually the safe will pay for itself in yearly safety deposit box fees. I used to keep mine in a safety deposit box as well but thought to myself I'm paying rent and don't want that lol. Unless you are concerned that your home will get broken into if you keep your coins on premises.

I come from the time when privacy was important to people. Now that I am online and its easy to find I am a coin collector, I just feel better knowing the coins are inaccessible here. I want to pass them on to my kids. My Grandfather and I spent years together collecting and when he passed, he left me the ones he had collected before I came along. I don't really care about the monetary value they might have as much as I value making sure they cannot be taken from my home and my kids will get them.
