<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1055568, member: 18157&quot;]I think this is a fairly interesting topic; one I&#039;ve pondered from time to time...</p><p><br /></p><p>I first became interested in coins when I was about six (6) years old. I recall my Father sitting at the dining room table in the early &#039;60s cherrypicking through bags of Morgan dollars he bought from the Cleveland Fed. </p><p><br /></p><p>I was into anything to do with the early West. Everything that had to do with cowboys (cattle drives, card games, bank/train/stagecoach robberies, etc) all seemed to revolve around these silver dollars; silver dollars that I could now actually hold in my hand...I was hooked!</p><p><br /></p><p>My Father passed away in 2005 and left his collection to me. I also had a small collection from my pre-college years. Together, that has become &quot;The Family&quot; collection which I&#039;ve added to and will (hopefully) pass along &quot;intact&quot; to someone in the family willing to accept the responsibility.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t have any kids so I&#039;m watching and waiting to see if any of my nieces/nephews show an interest in coins. I&#039;m really looking for someone that appreciates coins on their own and is willing to invest the time and effort to keep the collection going. ...and everyone here on CT knows that&#039;s not a trivial effort.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>I think the OP should appreciate his kids honesty.</b> It would be easy for them to feign an interest only to sell off the collection once he&#039;s gone. If, eventually, they still don&#039;t show an interest in his hobby, perhaps he should sell his collection and put the money into something they all can enjoy...perhaps a summer cottage on a lake.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
