<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ed Zak, post: 23513, member: 824&quot;]I have specific instructions that state, &quot;So you found my coin collection.&quot;&nbsp; I am sure that when my family finds this, they will think I was crazy when I wrote it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have specific instructions along with inventory, photos, etc., of what they should do and not do!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I have been in coin shops where that old lady walks into a shop with that &quot;I don&#039;t have a clue&quot; look and her late husband&#039;s collection is tallied up in less than 15 minutes.&nbsp; I understand that a dealer is providing a service and they have every right to make a fair dollar, but I get thoose &quot;Felix Unger (Odd Couple)&quot;&nbsp; nervous coughs when I see coins bought and sold for pennies on the dollar.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was in a coin shop in Florida (last week) and this lady comes in with her late father&#039;s collection.&nbsp; Most coins were late wheat pennies, Mercs, and what we would consider junk.&nbsp; After about 15 minutes, she walked out with $40 and she was happy because she told the dealer that tonight&#039;s dinner with her husband was on her!&nbsp; After she left, the dealer showed me the junk she brought it and I thought the dealer was very kind to offer as much as he did, considering he was running a business.&nbsp; But the seller was tickled she had money to buy a casual dinner.&nbsp; The dealer had coins that he could inventory, put in 2x2&#039;s and sell for about $150 to $200.</p><p><br /></p><p>I guess that it is typical, but for me I will spin in my grave if my kids and family treat my like-time hobby as &quot;money for a cheap dinner&quot;.&nbsp; So...my instructions are quite explicit and I warned them NOT to deviate from my instructions because whether I look down or up at them, I will haunt them if they don&#039;t![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
