Questions for the group. Numismatic Related.......

Hello everyone! I come before you to ask very good questions, I hope.
As we all get older, who's going to carry on the hobby in your shoes when you... you know..... I mean that I have noticed the age group here isn't necessarily getting any younger. I know that my collection will go to my Wife and Son. From there, I don't know but worry. As for my wife, she'll probably just cash them in at some "rip off" dealer's store but I hope not. That's why I have started teaching her the value of all the coins that I currently own. I say my wife because she's 7 years younger than me. Myson who is special needs, also has no interest. Other them, who have little interest in coins, I do have a brother-in-law who collect that is close to Us. I also just recently connected with two of my cousins from Florida, of which one of them, my cousin Jenny who casually collects coins. I plan on sending her some of my collection as a "housewarming gift". I just don't know what I'll send since I know little about what she collects. It's a surprise gift. I was thinking, a little of "this and that". Some error coins, some Silver coins and maybe a couple of my nicest currency from whom I received from an uncle which would have been her great uncle.
Comments and Advice welcome.
BTW: SO mad about the groundhog predicting 6 more weeks of winter.!
Stay cool and safe all.

That's a tough one, Sal. I'm sort of in the same boat but I do have a daughter who shows some interest in my collection. I don't worry about her selling it as she's said she'd keep and maybe expand on it as she gets to know more about them. No one else has any interest in them .

Good luck to you.

If I go first my wife will get them. She is worried about the best way to handle them. If she goes first, my church will inherit them.

 

Yes, I agree about it changing with new technology and if, if the aliens come back for more precious metals.
