<p>[QUOTE=&quot;1865King, post: 6653035, member: 103207&quot;]You didn&#039;t say why your grandmother went into a nursing home.&nbsp;&nbsp; So like Mountain Man said I hope you at least asked your grandmother what she wants to do with them.&nbsp;&nbsp; They are her property!!!&nbsp; If she went into a nursing home because she has dementia or something similar then it would fall on her children to decide what to do.&nbsp; If they want you to figure it out great but, be careful with what you do or say.&nbsp; The sets have value which I think you already know.&nbsp; Do not assume no family member has any interest in them at all.&nbsp;&nbsp; That&#039;s a quick way to start a family fight over something that not worth damaging family relationships over.&nbsp; Even if there is nothing rare in any of the sets there is an easy way to handle the situation.&nbsp; Assuming there are no varieties of value in the sets go on line and find out what they are selling for.&nbsp; Knock off about 40% from the sell price and that would give you an idea of what they could be sold for.&nbsp; The silver coins would be bought at melt or little over melt so that&#039;s what they&#039;re worth.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Now what do you do.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;m going to only tell you what I would do.&nbsp;&nbsp; Be very honest about how you came up with the value.&nbsp; Also tell them that just because something looks nice or in a case doesn&#039;t mean it&#039;s worth much.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Lets assume your grandmother had 4 children.&nbsp; Lets also assume she had 20 sets (trying to keep the math simple).&nbsp; Assuming you could divide the sets by value then simply divide the sets equally by 4.&nbsp;&nbsp; Very simple and there shouldn&#039;t be any issues as long as you are honest with you valuation.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Personal advise,&nbsp; I would like to assume family members get along pretty good but, in some cases that not true.&nbsp;&nbsp; By doing what I said above is about as fair as you can be.&nbsp;&nbsp; Also you will find out very fast the people that are interested in them and those that aren&#039;t.&nbsp; If no one is interested in them than either offer them the price you came up with and then sell them yourself or keep them.&nbsp;&nbsp; You may even find that some of your family members know your interested in coins and they may just say You Keep Them, no worries!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>However, if Grandma is mentally sound do not do anything without her knowing it will turn out bad for you.&nbsp;&nbsp; She may tell you to sell everything and take everyone out for a nice dinner on her.&nbsp;&nbsp; When people get to the point of going into a nursing home and they find out family members are picking through their stuff like they&#039;re already dead it can be devastating for them.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen where families get ripped apart for really stupid reasons and they never recover.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
