<p>[QUOTE=&quot;biggiej, post: 714901, member: 19474&quot;]My two grown sons were at my house over the weekend and we had my coin collection out and they were doing there best to act interested in it. My wife was telling them that a guy and his two young sons that live in our small town offered to buy my whole collection for his kids for probably $1000 more than it is worth and quite a bit more than I spent putting it together. I turned them down flat and told them it was not for sale for any amount of money.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Now, I have been dissabled for the last 2 years and my wife and I are on fixed incomes and have had it pretty rough getting through until I was eligible for medicare. My sons seemed aggrevated that i would not take this offer and start all over collecting again. They do not understand what we put in to building our collections, and that is not just the value of the coins but their sentimental value.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Each of my coins means something different to me, the ones that I made great deals on and the ones that i made not so great deals on, but learned from. My grandchildren on the other hand are very interested in them and have no idea that they are worth anything, they just love to look at them and learn about the presidents and such that are on them.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; I try to explain to my boys that some day these will all be theirs to share with their children but I don&#039;t know if I am getting through. We left the discussion over the weekend with the fact that they still think I&#039;m crazy but if it makes me happy then they will leave me to it, and they each got on the computer and put $50 in my paypal account so I am off and running hunting on Ebay tonight!!!!:thumb:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
