What to do with my accumulation?

<p>[QUOTE="markr, post: 3646899, member: 83328"]I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but this project reminds me of the huge accumulation of stamps my Father left me. I had (and still have) zero interest in stamps and did not want to tie up the space the stamps took. So, I quickly sold them to a coin and stamp dealer. If your Kids, Grand-kids, and Great Grand-kids show no interest in collecting, I expect they'd feel much the same as I did. I kept a VERY small selection of stamps just to have something to remember how much my Dad enjoyed collecting. So my suggestion would be to cut back on the quantity you are giving the children, instead giving them a much smaller set to help them remember the joy you received from collecting. Then, do what I wish my Dad had done: The coins that you do not want to keep for yourself, sell and use the funds to do something you enjoy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
