<p>[QUOTE=&quot;zumbly, post: 3168108, member: 57495&quot;]I don&#039;t want to hijack the thread, but I think you bring up some points that should be food for thought for some of us still holding on to our collections.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s true that when we sell, we&#039;ll probably have no control over who buys our coins, but should at least have some control over who sells them, whether or not we&#039;re still around when that happens.&nbsp; My wife and I were doing our wills recently and it was pointed out that I should leave <u>very clear and detailed instructions</u> about what ought to be done with my coins should there be any left at the time.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>It would at least help the kids with the hassle (and cut down on future &quot;I found these coins in my grandpa&#039;s drawer/box/attic, what are they worth?&quot; threads at the same time <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />), and also ensure there&#039;s no chance I rise up from the grave when some randomly chosen and inattentive dealer mistakes my $500 coin for the $50 (or in some cases $5) one that it could be mistaken for.&nbsp; Okay, so I may not <i>really</i> have hurt feelings when I&#039;m dead, but I do think if a coin collection has any monetary significance to one&#039;s estate at all, including in one&#039;s will a coin database with prices the coins were bought for, and some instructions regarding a preferred auctioneer/seller, may be something worth considering.&nbsp; I&#039;m still working on mine... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie82" alt=":shy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
