<p>[QUOTE="Rhino89, post: 884738, member: 21773"]So I see a lot fo you would leave it up to the family to do as it pleases... but would it be wrong to leave a note with your collection that says "don't sell it off, keep it in the family, I put so much time and effort into creating this from sources all over the world, it's more special than a small wad of $100 bills" ? I personally collect because I love the hobby, not the investment portion of it, and I would never in my lifetime sell any of the pieces at the heart of my collection. And I know once you're gone you obviously can't stop someone from going against your wishes, but is it wrong to tell them "No way, you're keeping it"? This is all assuming no one in the family but you cares about the coins. If there's a collector in the future generation, then problem solved.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
