<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sonlarson, post: 1928521, member: 15488&quot;]For a while now I have been contemplating disposing my base-metal World coin collection. I have been building this collection for over 20 years but haven’t really added anything to it in the last couple of years. My focus has been on building a 21st Century Mexico type set and a few other specialized series. I also continue to add to my World Silver crown collection.</p><p>My hopes were that my grandsons would someday join me in the excitement of collecting world coins. However I don’t see this happening.</p><p>At this point I have not had any fire to expand the collection. The main collection at this point is over 120 different countries and over 800 different coins. I have separated a few coins from the collection that I really like and plan to keep for the future. My quandary is how to dispose of the collection. This collection is very organized. I have all the coins in 2X2s in 4 binders. World regions such as Europe, Asia, Far East, etc separate them. Each section has it’s own map and index of the coins. I have an excel spreadsheet which also list each coin with data and comments. I have spent many, many hours working on this over the years. I have come up with a few options for disposal and am asking for opinions.</p><p><br /></p><p>1) Sell the entire collection intact on eBay or CoinTalk.</p><p>2) Sell the individual coins the same way</p><p>3) Sell the coins by countries.</p><p>4) Sell by themes</p><p>5) Just give it to the grandsons anyway.</p><p>6) Donate to a local Boy Scout Troupe.</p><p>7) Solicit ideas from my fellow CoinTalk members.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So, if you were in my situation, what would you do?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
