Message:: [QUOTE="Dillan, post: 3087377, member: 90539"]I would think that this individual would do much better to hang onto his Dad's collection. It seems like the Father may have wanted to create an heirloom for the many generations to come. But we all know, eventually one of the family members would sell off the coins . Unless you have the passion needed to enjoy, and see the beauty and creativity in coins, they are nothing more then metal disks with a value. Sadly so many families get ripped off by some body making a fast buck, and are less then honest with the holder of quality items. Even if a seller offered to act as a middle man to set up the auctions , get the items certified and take say 10 to 15 % for their work. This way they can work with the owners , and everything is in black and white. I seen this happen on more then a few occasions when Grandma or Grandpas collection is sold for 500.00 dollars and worth 10 times that amount. The nice think about Coin Talk is there are many reputable people that could step in to help a family in a situation such as the one mentioned.[/QUOTE]
