<p>[QUOTE="Jason Hoffpauir, post: 2177632, member: 67527"]Here is my two cents worth...A wise man once told me, "We are just caretakers of the coins we own, until someone else is". Saying this, if it was me I would donate to a numismatic library or make a donation (for viewing and or selling to boost the hobby) at your local coin club. Regardless of what you do, like many others have suggested, make sure it is superbly catalogued and properly stored so that whoever gets it can get the most for it. Hopefully not all your collection gets sold off, and someone in your family keeps a token of your years and years of hard work while you collected so that maybe they can share it with yet another generation. As for me....hmmmmm I think I will take 10% of my entire collection and on the day of my funeral I will hide it throughout the cemetary and at the end of my ceremony tell the priest or preacher that hidden all over the cemetery are valuable silver and gold coins that is there's for the taking. (of course I would inform my immediate family beforehand so they could be in on it).Then without the rest knowing, hire someone to film the whole debacle and then get a close relative to post it on YouTube for the world to see. But hey, that's just me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie59" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
