<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kirkuleez, post: 1860600, member: 36864&quot;]I plan to leave them to my son who will become the fifth generation to continue the collection.&nbsp; I only hope that he doesn&#039;t sell them and spend the money on video games.&nbsp; Some would consider it strange that my family has been collecting for so long and put such importance on it, but it is there for a rainy day.&nbsp; I know that a good portion of the older proof collection that was assembled by my Great-Great Grandfather Gabe was sold during the depression to keep members of the family with a roof over their head.&nbsp; I have spent many years attempting to replace the coins that were sold.&nbsp; This is why I consider myself more of a curator of the collection rather than its owner.&nbsp; Should a family member need some emergency money, they have it, no questions asked.&nbsp; This was something that I agreed to when it was handed over to me almost thirty years ago, and it is the same agreement that my son will have with the rest of the family when it&#039;s my time.&nbsp; The family coins are important, but the members are much more important.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
