<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 2856157, member: 77639&quot;]A thorough inventory is the first order of business.&nbsp; You can probably get a ballpark idea of worth from the inventory.&nbsp; If you take some to a dealer, they can give you an estimate only on what you present.&nbsp; Show them the inventory or do the work yourself online to get values.</p><p><br /></p><p>Then there is the tax angle.&nbsp; If there is a capital gain, then it might be best to hold the collection as an inheritance because the basis will become the value of the coins on the day the owner dies.&nbsp; If there is little or no gain or maybe a loss, selling now might be best.&nbsp; If there is a loss, there may be a tax deduction.&nbsp; The complicating factor is inheritance taxes.&nbsp; If the entire estate is large and subject to inheritance tax, then consult an accountant or lawyer for advice.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, the uncle should have a will and possibly a trust.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
