<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MIGuy, post: 8114211, member: 116145&quot;]Thank you for sharing that, it really resonates and I hear you (we also had 6 dogs a while back, that&#039;s fun!), but I do think that if I gave one of my kids (I&#039;m still waiting on the grandkids, lol) some coins and said, &quot;sell them and don&#039;t get ripped off&quot; I&#039;d do so for good reason, probably because the kid needed the money and I thought some coinage might help them out and teach them something about value, coins and selling.&nbsp; I think most of us collectors put different values on different coins, and some have sentimental value, some don&#039;t - I sure do, I have a lot of stuff I&#039;ve just randomly picked up because I like shiny objects and I&#039;ve sold a lot of that same stuff over the years, though not so much lately because it&#039;s harder to buy with silver prices so high - so I have less junk to sell.&nbsp; Yet, my son and me have a collection that I wouldn&#039;t touch (of course I&#039;d have to get his permission too, hahaha).&nbsp; Anyway, grandpa gave the coins to sell, and that&#039;s their interest.&nbsp; My suspicion (no real basis for it, just my suspicion) is that he&#039;s got other things he considers personal for inheritance or gifts down the road.&nbsp; I say we just help out in accomplishing this short term goal and, as you note, if you had possessed some coins that you could have sold to address your early debts, when you needed money, you sure would have jumped on that, rather than having to go to the inlaws.&nbsp; Anyway, that&#039;s my 2 cents my friend!&nbsp; I appreciate your posts and Merry Christmas![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
