<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 109952, member: 3011"]I've made sure that my kids understand that the coins I have are meant to go to them, that they are inherently valuable, that it might take a little research to figure out what they are worth in the future, and that they have my permission to do anything they want with them -- keep them, sell them or add to them. I've made sure they can get to the coins if I'm gone. Since the collection is mostly gold and silver obtained at prices reasonably close to spot, they fully understand where the value comes from.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess this is more of an investor mentality than a collector's mentality. I've avoided buying anything that will be difficult for someone to put a value on. If I somehow make it to retirement in relative financial comfort, I'll just give it to them outright while I'm still alive. This will give them more of an incentive to listen to what I have to say about them. If you wait until you are dead and leave it up to someone else to formulate a plan, assume there won't be a plan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
