<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 3326138, member: 14873&quot;]It was kind of you to say those nice things [USER=76111]@Carthago[/USER] - thank you. Of course eventually everyone who posts here will have to face the same thing. It sneaks up on you. Years ago I wouldn’t have believed I would be making a post like this on a message board - but here I am. I did want to take a pragmatic approach to this, and avoid some of the pitfalls that so many of my collector friends (of all sorts of artifacts) made which often led to much heartache and difficulty for their survivors. BTW, I have considered different ways of disposing of my coins and discussed them with other CT members, but I have settled on the procedure I outline here.</p><p><br /></p><p>As I posted elsewhere, I have four children, five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren none of who have the slightest interest in Ancient coins. I didn’t want my wife, Beverly, to be stuck with the gloomy and complicated task of disposing of a large quantity of my coins when I die, so we agreed that I would keep the twenty coins I list for me to admire, play with and cherish and that I would sell (or otherwise dispose of) the rest - the money derived to go to her to do with as she pleases - only fair in my opinion. We agreed that she will hold on to the twenty coins I have selected after I die in case one of my progeny should develop an interest in them and become (hopeful but forlorn hope?) a collector/enthusiast. Whatever eventually happens to them is beyond my control anyway - I just don’t want her to have to worry about disposing of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>If Beverly should die first I intend to hold on to my twenty coins and eventually (if I become incapacitated, etc.) give them to my executor to dispose of as he/she thinks best.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
