<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 7597940, member: 100459"]I have enjoyed reading your plans for taking care of your coins when you pass. My father had a "collection" of sorts and it was in his will that it would be split between my brother and I. I made a list of all the coins a currency and divided them as good as I could into A and B. Then I let my brother decide which one he wanted. He lives in California and I am in North Carolina, so it was an issue for him to package the one that was for me and send them to me. I was grateful for the coins that I got, because it started me into coin collecting. Most of the coins were U.S. and worth face value. None of them were in great shape. I was a novice and didn't know about CT. I thought that Franklin Mint was a creditable company and that Rick and The Coin Vault, as well as Mike and others, were honest in their values and prices. My first purchase was from Mike on his nighttime show. I bought 10 1921 Morgan Dollars in a tube. When I got them, I thought they were in great shape.</p><p>Anyway, back to the subject, I have bought coins from the Mint, ebay, and Mount Vernon. Although the prices are high in the Mint and the RV shows, if there is a coin that I like, I have enough set aside to buy what I want. My collection is not worth too much, but I like what I got.</p><p>As for the disposition of my coins, they will go to my wife with my instructions on how to take care of them or sell them. If I am the only one left of the two of us, my son will get everything. I have two daughters that have spoken to me since their mother decided to divorce me to marry her high school heartthrob. That was in 1994, so you know what they will get.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
