<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1323884, member: 26302&quot;]Yeah, museums are horrible for coins usually. A friend at a coin club volunteered for the state museum, and they had some good pieces, (in storage of course), and someone had gone through them and harshly cleaned every one. This is of the ones left, as he was able to prove the museum used to have more coins, and somehow the most valuable ones had walked out and been sold 20 years before.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know people think its a great idea to donate their coins to a museum when they pass, but most museums will either lose them, or damage them, won&#039;t display them, and generally don&#039;t want them. Unless you wish to donate them to the ANA or ANS for fund raising, or you have a world class collection, I think its better to auction your coins off and let other collectors have the fun of getting new coins for their cown collections. Think about it, most coins in your collection were in someone else&#039;s before you, its only right to pass the opportunity to own them to the next generation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
