<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 3363529, member: 77639&quot;]I agree with the concept of giving the coins themselves to a charity and let them do the work.&nbsp; One problem is if the uncle willed the coins on a value basis, rather than specific coins, to multiple charities, then a valuation would have to be made.&nbsp; Is any tax likely to be due on the estate?&nbsp; If so, the Brinks inventory and pictures may be good enough.&nbsp; Show them to a dealer or two for an opinion.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been involved in a couple of estates where there were coins involved, and a generalized evaluation based on Redbook values was good enough.</p><p><br /></p><p>Another advantage of turning the coins themselves over to the charity or charities is there is less chance of them complaining that the executor(s) did a poor job of marketing the coins and asking the executors to make-up the difference.&nbsp; If there are multiple charities involved, see if you can&#039;t get their reps together for an amicable division of the loot as per terms of the will.&nbsp; Getting them to sign-off on their share can eliminate future disputes.&nbsp; If the estate is sizeable, a lawyer should be involved.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
