<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Beardigger, post: 4783633, member: 104605&quot;]Don&#039;t give up on the kids and grandkids just yet. I was never interested in my dad&#039;s coin collection. After he passed, we divided it up between the 3 of us......just haphazardly.....each got an equal amount of gold coins.....the flipped and graded&nbsp; coins were basically just divided up equal, with no thought to value or whatever......Took them to my LCS for help, he was happy to give me some information and he did buy part of it.Then I stuck the rest away......One day,I&nbsp; found a&nbsp; quarter with a W mint mark in my pocket change and Researched it because I knew it wasn&#039;t a common thing.....figured out what it was and that it was a HTF coin, so then I went back to my dad&#039;s collection and started researching what I had left of it......and VIOLA! a collector was born at 60 yrs old. I have spent the last year and a half learning about coins and adding to the collection. Now I wish I had appreciated it earlier......but you work with what you have!</p><p><br /></p><p>Your collection is a legacy to your family, and you should keep it even if you are concerned they don&#039;t want it.....It may help them if they are having a financial issue. Yeah it may get sold, and they may even get a bad deal for them.......but through that, those coins will&nbsp; eventually end up with somebody who DOES appreciate them or spark interest in a new collector.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
