<p>[QUOTE="Kentucky, post: 1792761, member: 33176"]Back when I was in college at the Univ. of KY (1964-67) I was in a con shop when a woman brought in a lovely mahogany case lined in velvet and having one-ounce rounds from Franklin Mint or some such organization with depictions of famous left-handed pianists (or sone-such subject) which her husband had been collecting but he had passed away and she wanted to see what she could get for them. The shop owner did a quick calculation and told her the bullion value and offered her 90% or so of it. She was shocked since these were "collectables" which her husband had paid big bucks for. After selling them, I watched the dealer empty them out into his junk silver bucket and hand her back the tray. </p><p>Collectables are only collectables if someone else wants them...now can we talk about my Cabbage Patch Dolls?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
