Message:: [QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 3363955, member: 27832"]10 years ago was 2009. (Feel old yet?) Gold's spot price in the 1990s and early 2000s was mostly well under $400/oz. Even with the Mint's premium, those gold coins are almost certainly worth a lot more than he paid for them. The OP mentioned acting as a "trustee" in this process. In the past when I was asked to serve as executor for a friend's will (which fortunately hasn't been exercised yet), he explained that the executor is able to draw funds from the estate for expenses related to administration. I don't know whether the OP is able to do this. If the dollar cost of the lot is that high, there must be thousands of individual items, and it's likely that most aren't rare or otherwise special. I don't know if Heritage or Stacks is the place to go with such a collection -- I wonder if you might end up getting more money from a big bullion dealer like APMEX or Provident? [USER=101464]@Alandhorowitz[/USER], would you consider posting an excerpt or two from the inventory list here, to give us a better idea of the sorts of things in the collection?[/QUOTE]
