<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 3757736, member: 14873&quot;]Well it is tough alright, Bing. Even a year ago I could not have imagined doing this. This is truly virgin territory. But as Beverly and I discussed the problems involved for her in disposing of my coins when I die (which could be pretty soon) it became obvious that the problem could become monumental for her. So we chose a pragmatic approach (as one CT contributor put it) and decided that I would hold on to a precious few and gradually sell of the rest - as it turned out through auctioning off a first group then selling off the remainder via a knowledgeable and trusted dealer (a US resident in order to avoid dealing with Customs and money transfers, etc.). Things have worked great so far - the auction went well (I was pleased that most coins ended up with collectors I consider to be good custodians) and I have now started consigning all but “the now ten Julio-Claudian coins” to our chosen trusted Dealer (I think it would be inappropriate to name him here).</p><p><br /></p><p>I am very happy and content living with the at first twenty now ten coins that I have retained - I think the secret to that is having a lot of research material and reference books available that you really enjoy using - that way you can constantly get out the appropriate coins to fondle as you lose yourself in pleasurable reading and reflection - at least that is how it works for me. Along the way I have come to realize how much I had glossed over information at first blush that I now find most enlightening and valuable.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and participating on Coin Talk is a great antidote (or fix) for combating “coin withdrawal”.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
