[QUOTE="The Penny Lady®, post: 715515, member: 16948"]Mark, some interesting thoughts. For some reason, if I couldn't afford better, I think I'd be content putting together a really nice PQ AU Indian set. And I'm pretty sure neither of my boys will ever be interested in collecting coins. They've been around it long enough to get interested, and although they help me out at my shows now and then, the interest is just not there.

If my kids/grandkids didn't appreciate the coins I put together, the toning, quality, value, etc., then I would much rather sell them to a collector who would get the same joy from the toning and varieties of my little copper babies as I have! However, all that being said, if something unexpected happened to me, my husband and boys know who to go to to help them sell my collection and my inventory.
