I once noted a few dealers at a Baltimore show that seemed to be selling nothing. A friend said they were just there for buying and had no intention or interest in selling. Paying table fees would seem to be expensive but when you are not trying to feed the kids on your profits, rules change. It would open up access to people selling Grandpa's coins and the parade of vest pocket dealers walking the floor (some of whom really had unrealistic expectations).

Do we try to liquidate before we die or do we stick the kids with an inheritance they will not understand? I'd miss my coins so my heirs will suffer. Do you have a gameplan?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
