<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2930796, member: 80121&quot;]I recently liquidated a coin collection for the spouse of a member of the coin club I belong to. I think that from that experience, I will tend to shy away from doing it again. I later found out that when he was diagnosed with cancer, he started to sell his better coins himself. His daughter told me he used the money, without telling his wife, to go to Mexico to treat his cancer there. Basically little of what was left had very little value. I set up a table at a coin meeting, put up a sign and picture telling what I was doing, and most of the club members dropped a twenty on the table and didn&#039;t bother taking any coins. I was able to get her approximately $2,500 for what was really worth a few hundred dollars. The no good deed goes unpunished went into effect here, she told me she thought his collection was worth a lot more than what I got her, when it was worth a lot less and she was not happy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
