<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 715002, member: 4552&quot;]Many of us are in those situations. Not exactly, but similar where no one in a family wants what we have spent our lives accumulating. Although coins are on the increse as a hobby for collecting, it is more than likely temporary. Not as much as Beanie Babies, Hot Wheel Cars, Baseball/Football Cards, US Postage Stamps, but I suspect most younger individuals feel that way. Many or our children have seen those hobbies fade with a great monitary loss and are thinking this coin stuff will end the same way, so why bother. There is this fad for the State Quarters which is temporarily creating some new Numismatist but even many of those are getting tired of all the varieties and since a temporary hobby, starting to give up too. </p><p>Dealers I know say that the surge of selling those State Quarters is fading, fading, fading. The baby sized Dollars too are just a temporary fad that is a collectible but difficult to utilize so many see that fading also. Still a nice educational tool if schools ever think about using them for that. </p><p>My son, his wife and their kids have absolutely no interest in my coin collection or any of my other hobbies. I suspect after I&#039;m gone the entire collection will either end up in a bank or coin store. Same with numerous other hobbies of mine. I still continue to collect coins but have really put aside other hobbies knowing what is to be the end of them.&nbsp; </p><p>The real thing is not to worry about what will happen to your personal belongings since you have nothing to say about that afterwards.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
