<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ahearn, post: 1411720, member: 18211&quot;]I just visited the widow of a recently-departed cousin in a distant city. The widow mentioned that her husband had an large and extensive coin collection that was started in the 1970s and was now locked away in &quot;several&quot; bank boxes. On questioning her, she doesn&#039;t know much about what coins are in the collection -- some gold, silver, some in slabs, some medallions. There was not enough time for me to go to the bank to see them and she doesn&#039;t have a catalog.</p><p><br /></p><p>Her sons are not interested and she needs to liquidate the collection. I didn&#039;t feel qualified to give her advice on such a large collection other than suggestions to catalog the collection and use a well-known auction house such as Heritage. There are two local small dealers but her husband didn&#039;t like either one. I would like to give her more substantial advice, which is the reason for my request here.</p><p><br /></p><p>What should she do? What are her options? Are there people who act as estate agents for coin collections? I&#039;ll pass along any serious advice you can offer. Thanks in advance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
