<p>[QUOTE="KeyHunter, post: 26792785, member: 122558"]Selling my entire collection would mean that my wife and/or I are in desperate financial/medical straits after which there are no hopes of rebuilding. The two children have no interest in this stuff (well, maybe my techy investment-savvy son but he is not a fan of "obsolete" physical precious metals) , nor does my wife (though she is VERY supportive of my collecting since I am so picky on what to acquire). Instructions to my wife at my passing are to take the collection to the nearby PNG brick front Numismatist whom has been a guide for these many decades. My collections: complete Chinese gold; American gold; American contemporary and classic proofs (not sets); American numismatic key dates...ALL were started based on family impetus, acquiring on a limited budget to (hopefully) at least maintain value. While heavily nostalgia-based the contents have individual coin values from ~$20 to over $20K. I could never imagine regaining true numismatic value from an insurance company as putting out the least settlement is SOP. In summary, unless the kids grow some appreciation with age, my collection is a once and done endeavor.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
