<p>[QUOTE=&quot;OldGoldGuy, post: 2177219, member: 72697&quot;]First and foremost, I respect, greatly respect, your generosity with your hobby by entertaining the idea of &quot;giving&quot; it away. Commendable. Coupe things on that. First, be careful that whomever you give it away to doesn&#039;t just turn right around and sell it. Second, the museum route, I am not 100% on how donations to a museum works, but I woudl imagine the collection would have to have some significance for them to accept. I know it sounds crazy that a museum wouldn&#039;t accept it, but think of the time investment their staff would be committing to if they must sort through, catalog, label, etc, &quot;1000&#039;s of coins&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my suggestion, take it for what its worth. Pick a family member who, even if they are not a numismatist, you feel would at least RESPECT what you are handing over. It sounds like you have a serious sized collection. Give it to someone deserving. I am funny about inheritances and charity. I feel inheritances should stay in the family and charity should be something you actively do, not just something you do at the end to buy your ticket through the gates. I am not saying I think that is what your motivations are, not even by a longshot, I just think it should be something your family keeps. Thats me, and I am weird.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
