<p>[QUOTE="Bing, post: 3326621, member: 44132"]I'm fast approaching an age where I must make the hard decisions regarding my own collection. The reasons you have penned are the same that I must consider. My wife is not healthy. She has no interest in my collection. NONE! My oldest son has no interest and is childless. My younger son has always supported me and my collection, but, in reality, has very little interest in numismatics for a hobby. His children are too young to know and live too far away for me and my collection to have any influence. I own somewhere near 900 ancient coins, and a very small modern collection which I have no interest in any longer. For months I have thought to willow down my collection to just the eras of special interest to me, but not only is that hard to contemplate, I have no idea how to go about it. Yes, I could donate to some organization, but for many reasons I do not like the idea that my coins will collect dust in some basement or backroom. Besides, I would like to earn some proceeds to provide for my wife should something happen to me first. None of this is an easy decision, and I applaud you for having made this hard decision. I'm still in turmoil.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
