<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hotpocket, post: 1928530, member: 44182&quot;]That&#039;s a tough situation.&nbsp; I feel for you - I don&#039;t have grandkids, but my older son has zero interest in my coin collection and it pains me.&nbsp; I have tried several times to get him excited/interested but the spark just isn&#039;t there.&nbsp; Maybe this will change in the future, but I don&#039;t think it will.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I were in your situation, I would try to detach myself emotionally from the set and view it as a financial transaction.&nbsp; Rather than worry about the set being purchased in tact as one collection, I would try to maximize the value I could get (either in whole or in parts).&nbsp; That probably means selling it piecemeal.&nbsp; I&nbsp; have been buying coins for the past 30 years and I never buy lots or whole collections.&nbsp; I buy the one coin I need or want.&nbsp; I suspect you will move it quicker that way vs. holding on to the whole set until you find the right buyer (might take a LONG time).</p><p><br /></p><p>If you visit coin shows or list your coins on ebay, the popular coins (in more demand) will likely sell well.&nbsp; The more common coins may take longer, or maybe never sell - those you can donate to the boy scouts or whomever.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>One way to involve your grandkids (if they are old enough) is to have them help you sell the coins on ebay.&nbsp; This involves taking pictures of the coins, typing up the descriptions, posting the info online, etc.&nbsp; At least it would be some way to involve them in the process.</p><p><br /></p><p>Good luck sir.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
