<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4850683, member: 19463"]Rather than slabbing everything or color coding, I would concentrate on finding someone you would trust to help your family with the coins when you are gone. I currently have three names on my 'contact on death' list. At least one of those names should be a professional dealer with whom you have discussed the matter. It would be best if the people on the list were younger than you and you might have to change people as circumstances change. I have changed my list a couple times in the last couple decades. Relatively few of us have collections that should all be sent to one dealer for disposal. Having someone preselected that you would expect to know the market at the time and providing contact information makes sense to me. I hope we all live so long that the dealer who handles our sale has not yet been born but, meanwhile, it is good to have a plan B.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
