<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4285162, member: 19463"]A lot depends on how much of my net worth is represented by the coins, whether I see the end coming and if feel my family does not need the money represented by the coins. The current state of the market makes that last a question that it was not a short time ago. I would prefer that I could give certain coins to a friend who would understand why I liked them and who would see them the way I did as something more than cash resale value. The last place I would like to see them go is to a museum but a close second is to someone who thinks of them as just money. I have had to change more than once my instructions to family as to who to contact for help upon my death due to status changes of my previous choices (retirement, death etc.). Of course I hope to live long enough to ask FFIVN to help me but realistically I prefer someone between 18 and 80. There will remain the unlikely hope that my daughter/grandson/generation yet unborn will develop an interest in the coins. A guy can dream.</p><p><br /></p><p>My ancients collection weighs over 18kg and would melt into a billon pot of sufficient size to hold my ashes and the ashes from all my books that no one will want either. I trust there will be a better answer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
