<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wxcoin, post: 25244142, member: 74624&quot;]After reading your post it made me think twice about my future collecting plans.&nbsp; My only heir is my son who doesn&#039;t seem very interested in coins. Over the years I&#039;ve given him a few nice certified classic coins in hopes that he would show an interest in their history.&nbsp; He seemed intrigued the time I gave him a cameo proof 3CN.&nbsp; This past Christmas I gave him Liberty half eagle; just another type that he&#039;s never seen.&nbsp; This past fall I sold a large portion of my collection to a LCS so I could concentrate on doing what I always wanted to do since I found an indian head cent in a bank roll in the late 60&#039;s.&nbsp; Right now I&#039;ve been working on upgrading my NGC Indian Head Cent registry set (No Respect, No Respect At All), replacing lower graded with higher graded ones.&nbsp; The process is getting slower but entertaining as the search fills in spare time.</p><p><br /></p><p>My original plan was to call it quits in a couple of years and then sell everything.&nbsp; This post has made me realize that I shouldn&#039;t worry about what&#039;s going to happen to my collection if something unfortunate happens to me.&nbsp; The fact that I still enjoy the hunt tells me that I shouldn&#039;t give up what I enjoy just because my son isn&#039;t into the same things I am.&nbsp; I&#039;ve already given him instructions on how to go about selling my collection if he doesn&#039;t want to keep it.&nbsp; I think that he would be unhappy knowing that I gave up something I enjoyed just because he wasn&#039;t interested.&nbsp; Who knows, after I&#039;m gone, he&#039;ll be intrigued by the things I collected and found interesting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
