<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1527519, member: 26302&quot;]This is exactly how I think. Its also the reason I, (if I ever had a good enough collection to warrant it), would never donate my collection to a museum either. We had a good time collecting these things, we learned a lot, they made our lives more full and complete. Why would I be so selfish as to deny the next generation the same opportunity? If all of these coins got buried or donated to museums, no one else will be able to enjoy what we have enjoyed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I know it will give me great satisfaction to know that my coins will be fought over, scrutinized, and give people joy when they obtain them after I am gone. I look forward to the next generation of collectors being excited to own coins I once owned, and hope they love them as much as I did.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a son that is turning one year old. In the back of my mind I hope he gets the collecting bug, I encourage him, and give him a lot of coins. But, when I am gone, and he opens up the safety deposit box, I could just see his face saying &quot;Holy crap.....................&quot;. </p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
