Hi all:
This question has sort of been addressed in other topics. No! No! That is not a critiscisim.
I too wonder how to best keep and diplay the coins I have.
However, unlike modern coin collectors, I find I just cannot lock up, slab or otherwise make my coins out of reach. By that I mean I just have to have them where I can touch them.
I think this is a similar feeling many ancient coin collectors have.
It's an intangible, but everytime I hold an ancient coin I find myself wondering where it's been and what it may have seen.
Hold a lincolin wheat penny and you may visualize an accountant in
Des Moines having
had it.
Hold an ancient
roman coin of the 2nd Century and you may visualize that someone banged it on a table in a tavern lit only by
terra cotta lamplight, coming fresh from the
Amphitheatre demanding "Bring more wine! And my friend here Lucianius said there are women as well"!
