<p>[QUOTE="White Ger. Shep. Lover, post: 3923216, member: 108450"]Your kind and loving gift is sure to spawn three or four future coin aficionados from your 32 young ones, Inspector . After all, it is indeed in their blood. Matter of fact, the possibility exists that your generosity could catch fire amongst your grand kids and great grand kids, resulting in a nice big batch of new coinsters......which is a nice thought, but in this case, could create an unparalleled family feud , the likes not seen since the rambunctious days of the Hatfields vs the McCoys. We could have Inspector family factions from the Pacific to the Atlantic pitted against each other.....all in an effort to become Granddad's sole numismatic beneficiary. Now the nice aspect of having so many vying for your prized collection, Inspector, would of course be all of the extra super nice birthday and Christmas gifts coming your way. One would think that in the years to come that Inspector would be receiving coins as gifts that throughout his 70+ years of collecting, he never imagined in his wildest dreams of ever getting his hands on. Looking at Inspector's beneficiary dilemma logically, there exists only one fair thing to do. He needs to have an impartial executor (non- family member) all set to preside over the distribution of his coins, when that sad day arrives when Inspector meets his maker. They would all meet together in one large room where Inspector's chosen executor would hand them each a 20 question exam, preprepared by none other than Inspector himself. 15 questions would be about coins and the other 5 personal questions about Inspector......such as "What is Inspector's favorite all time movie"? Which of course would be "Pennies from Heaven". Or, "what is Inspector's favorite baseball team" (which hopefully is the St. Louis Cardinals)? Now in event that there is a tie, the executor would have the lucky finalists write a 700 (or less) word essay on "The History of the San Francisco Mint" to determine the victor. Good luck, Inspector![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
