DAVID LANGE'S COIN ALBUM MUSEUM

It was interesting that you included an article about "Very Specific Museums" in the recent issue. This must be a hot topic these days, as one of my favorite websites, MessyNessyChic.com, recently ran a piece about oddball museums.

Of course, I have my own Coin Album Museum in my home. While I don't charge admission and don't advertise, I have had a few visitors over the years. The most recent were a couple from Iowa who were down in Florida scoping out places to retire. He's a fairly new collector of coin boards, and they both enjoyed the tour. He ended up buying four boards from me that he plans to use for storing his coins. I always have mixed feelings about that, but the boards weren't rare enough that a little extra wear and tear would cripple the outstanding population.

I'm attaching some photos I took of my collection after recently tidying it up. There were piles of things all around the floor, many of them more modern pieces and odds and ends that were better stored in totes. I've done this, and now the closets are full, too.
