[QUOTE="satootoko, post: 29967, member: 669"]It's been many years since I practiced probate and estate law, so this is definitely not self promotion. If you don't have an estate plan - get one! Whether or not you have an estate plan, if you don't have written instructions to your heirs about handling your collection - DO IT! Otherwise they will be the ones posting something like this on a coin forum they find with Google:[INDENT][color=sienna]I recently inherited some old coins with the death of my parents. Most that I can find online seem rather normal…early 1900s, a few late 1800s - Morgan Dollars, Peace Dollars, Walking Liberty Half Dollars, Silver Roosevelt Dimes, etc. There must be hundreds of them in all. How do I take these to someone to estimate their value and trust them not to steal the one rare coin in the whole bunch? I have been too trusting in the past and it has gotten me into trouble, I don’t wish to make that mistake again…but I do want to know the value of these coins. Any suggestions?[/color][/INDENT][color=sienna][/color][/QUOTE]
