<p>[QUOTE="GSDykes, post: 2177202, member: 73321"]I suspect this is a sensitive thread, but I need to settle me mind. For decades the hobby has been carried on by the generation from the late 40's and 50's. I am approaching 69 with no children, a few nephews (whom I am trying to encourage to collect). If I left this planet in a few years, I suppose my wife would be faced with disposing of thousands of coins!! At the present time I really enjoy collecting and will continue, for several reasons: (1) It is relaxing and enjoyable, (2) It helps me pass the time with certain medical issues ongoing. Usually I am into Theology, but decided to begin a 3 year or so sabbatical, and coins and collecting coins and studying different aspects about them keeps me going. I also like the numismatic community (you all). I am happily a very isolated combat vet, my wife and my dogs also keep me happy. Should I perhaps make a will to dispose of my coins? Is their an ANA collection site for old foggies like me? Is there a list of youngsters who would like free coins? I really would like to pass them on to someone who would continue the collection, even a museum, but preferably someone younger. What are your ideas and situations: you older members?? Enclosed is a pretty picture of a rather rare gaming token of 1965 from Harrah's. It is Franklinium I (magnetic, and big), Franklin mint without date. The pic is added to keep your attention, it works for me![ATTACH=full]421110[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
