<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Barney McRae, post: 25291303, member: 150594&quot;]I can absolutely appreciate this post. I have 3 brothers. When my dad passed, we did not do anything with his coins because my mom was still living. It would have been disrespectful and she might have needed them liquidated if she landed in a nursing home and lived for another decade. She passed not much more than a year afterwards. My dad had a pirate&#039;s haul of treasure of both gold and silver.&nbsp; He was a stacker and not a collector though. One of my brothers and I spent 3 and 1/2 hours sorting through the hoard splitting them 4 ways.&nbsp; There was so much we agreed to not even look at the dates or mint marks. Near the end when we were exhausted, we put a lot of the loose silver into bags and weighed them to split them equitably, when it came to loose dimes, quarters, and half dollars.&nbsp; As it ended up, we all ended up with about 90 pounds of silver and about 10 ounces of gold each. It took me 3 weeks to roughly assess my own portion, and half azz catalogue what my portion was. That was just a start. I need to go back to the bank vault and start doing a better inventory. It was overwhelming at the beginning. These are good problems to have.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
