<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 109754, member: 4626&quot;]Think if I had to make up my will now would give my collection to my youngest brother, the only other person I think I could trust not to just sell the thing.&nbsp; Except maybe my father, but not likely he&#039;ll outlive me.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d like to think all my work during my life assembling a collection counts for something than just extra money to whoever else gets it.&nbsp; I guess being dead it won&#039;t matter anymore on a practical level, but still... prefer to think of someone getting it and saying &quot;wow, what a neat collection&quot; rather than &quot;wow, I wonder how much I could get for these on E-bay!&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Recently seen the extensive coin and currency collection my grandmother, who died about 7 years ago, left... lots of modern Mexican coins from about the 1940&#039;s to the 1980&#039;s, amazing the kind of variety they had at that time, a lot of Mexican currency, especially from just before 1992 when the peso was revalued, then a lof of US coins and various world coins from about the 1940&#039;s to the 1960&#039;s, with a handful of older US stuff too.&nbsp; Right now is being held by my mother&#039;s family in safe deposit boxes.&nbsp; As far as I know they plan to appraise it for insurance purchases, but aren&#039;t planning to break it up, which I&#039;m glad to hear, I don&#039;t think she wouldn&#039;t have wanted it broken up.&nbsp; My grandmother is who I first inherited my interest in coins and coin collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
