So far today I've gotten 4 emails for burial insurance. This must be a sign from above that it's time to either sell my collection or make plans to bury it with me. Can one insure a coffin full of coins?
If U.S. coins, it may be the correct thread. My answer though, would be the same. Wait. For both events. I, for one, would miss you if you decide to continue with the pending event.
Please advise, in advance, with about 7 days notice in advance, of your impending departure. Also, please advise names address & phone numbers for your beneficiaries, so that I may contact them after an appropriate amount of time for them to get over their loss. I promise to wait at least 3 hours after the interment. Sincerely, Me. PS: I presume you collect US coins. Otherwise I'll have to get a decent reference book. [The cost of which will be deducted from the proceeds, of course.]
Who says you can't take it with you ? They have a TV show called Strange Inheritance. At the end of the show the lady says "and remember you can't take it with you ". Coins in the coffin.
You'll have to take some of them with you if your going boating on the Styx. And then there'll be the river nymphs, I bet they'll be expensive...
Make sure everyone considers you a Vampire. No one will go near your grave. We will miss you. But, as others have suggested, please let us know well in advance so we can give best wishes directly.
If you could get yourself killed on a battle field instead of dying a mundane death, *maybe* Freyja will pick you to go to paradise. Surely you'll be able to bring your coins to paradise.
I say: let me know where you will be buried, then bury yourself with your collection. ... ... ... Hmm, where's that shovel? (Archaeologists do it, why not me?)
Don't forget your Coffin Topedo... Advertisements boasted a restful slumber under the safety of such a device: “Sleep well sweet angel, let no fears of ghouls disturb thy rest, for above thy shrouded form lies a torpedo, ready to make minced meat of anyone who attempts to convey you to the pickling vat.” https://99percentinvisible.org/arti...es-vintage-defenses-aimed-foil-grave-robbers/
Maybe I'll just dump mine into circulation. Imagine the surprise when people start getting seated liberty's in change.
My plans are as follows. Sell all but my most treasured coins. In other words, keep the very favorite ones. Place them in a safe deposit box. When I pass, I am cremated and the urn with ashes are placed in the SDB. I find this solution acceptable. By the way the deaccessioning is in full swing.
And when the lease on the SDB runs out Tibor and his coins get sold at an abandoned property auction.
