<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 887589, member: 4552"]Yes this subject has come up many times in the past. I've thought about it for many years now with no solution. Now getting really old, no one hardly left anymore either in the way of relatives, friends, etc. They too pass away with time. Most of my family were lost in the WW2 wars so what came here was all there was and almost all gone now. I've got one Son and his Wife who have no interest in any of my collections or stuff. A problem too is they are far away in another state so if something should happen to me, they probably wouldn't know if for a long time. I sure wouldn't be able to call and tell them. Even if they did get it all they would probably sell off the entire coin collection to a coin store for a fraction of what it is worth. In my will it says lots of stuff but they wouldn't read it for about ten years later. </p><p><br /></p><p>I think of this subject frequently now since I just finished a battle with stage 4 Cancer and if you know stage 4 usually means goodby but I'm still here. Lost my bladder, prostate, lempth nodes and most nerves in that area. But for now still here. Really wonder sometimes just what will happen to all these coins and I still go to coin shows and buy more and more and more. After a coin show I tell myself, Self, your nuts.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
