<p>[QUOTE=&quot;omahaorange, post: 1293885, member: 28199&quot;]There is no one size fits all answer for what to do with a collection in this situations.&nbsp; It all depends on how much effort your heirs are willing to put into the liquidation.&nbsp; Getting top dollar for a collection of some magnitude is aiming too high in most instances, unless, as someone earlier suggested, they sell the stuff themselves.&nbsp; Some heirs may not be interested in doing the necessary research to do this.&nbsp; Any third-party seller will take fees and commissions, so this has to be taken into account.&nbsp; For any substantial collection, a lawyer should always be consulted.&nbsp; The best you can hope for is to designate who gets what, and offer some written advice on which direction to go.&nbsp; But ultimately, it will be the heir who decides how much effort to put into selling the collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>With that said, I would second an earlier poster&#039;s recommendation of the book <b><i>What to do With Grandaddy&#039;s Coins</i></b> by Jeff Ambio.&nbsp; While the style of the writing was geared toward a younger crowd, it did contain some good basic information.&nbsp; The book is inexpensive.&nbsp; I own a copy and keep it in the same cabinet as my collection.&nbsp; Let them read this before they attempt liquidation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
