<p>[QUOTE=&quot;No_Ragrets, post: 26679121, member: 151874&quot;]For a bit of a twist on this topic, my sister-in-law (and brother) received her dad&#039;s coin collection while he was still alive and [mostly] well. According to my brother, neither of them never had any interest in anything numismatic, and really had no idea what was there or what to do with it. </p><p><br /></p><p>When he told me about it, I offered to help him go through it and sort out the potentially valuable ones that I could spot. Very much to my surprise, my offer was declined and I was told to not mention it again. From what I&#039;ve gathered, they took the whole collection to a not-so-local shop, and quite far from the shop I use frequently and recommended to him, and let it all go for whatever they offered. </p><p><br /></p><p>One particular coin that piqued my interest in that collection (that I never saw) was an aluminum penny. I seriously doubt that it was the real deal, and I would think that I would be able to confirm it with relative ease, but they cared nothing for this gift of his lifetime collection that was bestowed upon them. </p><p><br /></p><p>The point of this whole comment is this. Be wary who you give / send your life&#039;s labors and pleasures to, especially if you want it to be enjoyed instead of turned over for quick money, be it needed or not. When some people see an opportunity to turn a quick buck, they will seize it without hesitation.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
