<p>[QUOTE="Gao, post: 668937, member: 19409"]There was a thread like this on an ancient coin forum recently. One thing that was brought up was that if you think that whoever inherits your coins will want to sell them, you should leave them detailed instructions as to how to go about this, as they probably won't know if they're getting ripped off. Give them a list of trusted dealers to work through and explain how to use resources for pricing. You might want to give them a list of the prices you payed for each coin (or at least the particularly valuable ones) perhaps with a list of what you think they should be able to get for them. In any case, whether or not you think the coins will be sold upon your death, you should have some sort of catalog of what you have, with explanations for anything that may not be obvious to noncollectors (like tell them which dates are rare, or what has a DDO and what that means).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
