<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 3719181, member: 14873&quot;]Yes, that is a good suggestion. In my own circumstance we had a couple of brief family get-togethers to discuss what should be done about my coin collection and my web pages when I depart this “mortal coil”. I was taken aback when it came out that none of my family members other than Beverly were interested in becoming protective custodians of any of them (and not just sell them off). One of my grandson’s volunteered to keep a thumbnail drive containing the source code and images for each of my web pages so that they could be resurrected in the future (after I am gone) if someone wanted to do that.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a result of those get-togethers Beverly and I agreed that I should keep just a few coins (and reference books) that are especially dear to me and that will enable me to keep on pursuing this life-long interest that I love so much in a meaningful way - hence my Twenty coins! I decided to consign most of the remainder of my coins (and books) to Auction and give the entire proceeds to Beverly as “mad money” to spend as she wished (actually to completely re-do the kitchen, etc. - you know how practical grandmas are). We don’t&nbsp; need the money because we are fortunate to own our home (having no mortgage is really great) and everything in it plus our automobiles - being debt free is good <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> I had used CNG as my Auction venue on previous occasions (Victor England is an old friend) with satisfactory results but this time I opted to use&nbsp; CT member Severus Alexander’s Auction house and he did an outstanding job!</p><p><br /></p><p>I am now a happy camper - I haven’t given a lot of thought as to what will happen to my twenty coins when I die - I will probably gift most of them to various close CT friends at an opportune moment - but I am not going to worry about that right now.</p><p><br /></p><p>One interesting new development is that one of my grandson’s is showing interest in my coins of the English Civil War (Cavaliers &amp; Roundheads) -</p><p><a href="https://jp29.org/000stuartkings.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://jp29.org/000stuartkings.htm" rel="nofollow">https://jp29.org/000stuartkings.htm</a> a side collection that I “rat holed” (aren’t we all incorrigible ?). I do not know how this will play out.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
