Message:: [QUOTE="CoinTalkJim, post: 8321265, member: 99050"]This is an interesting discussion. I am definitely type 1, wasin it for the fun: with a want list. The problem is that I am 78 years old, and have been collecting since the 1950s, and my father before that. I used to buy a lot of proof sets and commemoratives. This year after the pandemic I went to six coin shows in the area with about 25 boxes of coins and traded them for about 45 coins for which I believe I did not overpay, now mostly in safe deposit boxes. These filled in a lot of holes in my collection, and got rid of a lot of the duplicates. There was a lot of gold, $53.5 face. They were MS62 and above, and look very nice. I got every US-Philippine coin issued. I am about done filling in the holes, and what do I do with them? No sense selling them, or even giving them away, but I give my older duplicates away. My daughter said she would put them in a safe deposit box upon my death, which is better than selling them. I know my 9-year granddaughter like coins, but it is not a big priority with her. How are some of you older guys handling this? This was a major change to make to my collection in the last year. No family members wanted me to spend my coin proceeds.[/QUOTE]
