<p>[QUOTE=&quot;crazyd, post: 2348515, member: 67221&quot;]This is interesting topic. My dad was a modest collector over his whole life. Mostly U.S. Mint products, and alot of ASE&#039;s. I did collect a little under his direction and gifts as a young man - mostly just tucking them away. After his death - he left his collection to me. It was not a ton of value (us mint products and silver) but a nice collection none the less dating back to 1960. Also some older pennies and dimes and nickles.</p><p><br /></p><p>I gave small set of foreign silvers to my brother hoping he would remember my dad by them - but he pawned them to get cash to bet at a casino.</p><p><br /></p><p>However&nbsp; I have kept the bulk of them - and also begun adding each year a modest addition of coins as he would have done. I also add more Canadian coins then he did do to my mom being from Canada. I still use the storage containers with his hand writing on them. It makes me feel connected to him when the&nbsp; new coins come each year and I set down and look at the new and old coins with my daughter.&nbsp; She seems to like to look at all the designs and old dates.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not sure in the end what will happen. As retirement (or some other major need) I may sell many of them but heck we are not talking alot of money. I would also set aside a small number of coins for my daughter to do as she pleases - perhaps hoping she would also keep them - and once or twice a year look at them and remember me. But heck - I love her and she can do what ever she wants with them that makes her happy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
