<p>[QUOTE="beef1020, post: 1644682, member: 24544"]One more point, and I am not trying to beat up on you. I tend to think leaving a large/valuable coin collection to heirs is a bad idea. If the heir is not as into collecting as you were, or if their collecting interests differ from yours, they will be in the position of having to disperse your collection. To me, this is a hardship I would be imposing on them, so I will sell off my collection and leave money instead. I am in a much better position to sell my collection and maximize it's value than my children will be as I am the collector with the knowledge and contacts.</p><p><br /></p><p>With that said, I received a handful of coins when my great-grandmother passed away which mean a lot to me. But, these coins have little numismatic value, maybe in total $200 worth of coins. If that's what you are talking about, I think it's a great idea. If you are considering leaving a sizable/valuable collection I would consider how you might feel if you inherited a sizable and valuable collection of 1920's era glassware.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
