Write instructions telling your heirs how to get them slabbed with the address ready to go and all, and the name of the dealer you wish to use to sell them.

Maybe in the future you will want to do something differently. Why lessen your enjoyment now? In any case, heirs need clear instructions of what to do with coins. I have heard stories of widows being ripped off because they had no idea what they had. You don't have to teach your spouse numismatics, but you should make it easy for them to unload your collection in case you die. Color-coding flips and a page of instructions will do it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
