<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Drusus, post: 449043, member: 6370&quot;]I will be honest...if a persons relative dies, that relative has thousands of dollars in coins and leaves this treasure to him, and he whines and complains about having to do the very minimum in simply getting a current market value for them and selling them off? Its unfortunate and maybe he left them to the wrong person because obviously they aren&#039;t smart enough to see a gift of free money for very little effort being handed to them. They would be nuts...I am positive most people see it as great gift.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I can see if the coins are not attributed but even so, if its worth a lot of money then its a small effort to profit off one persons life passion and hobby. I doubt a large amount of collectors have the bulk of their coins laying around in a coffee can. They have them attributed, often times with prices, dates, the seller, etc...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But in the end, I dont collect mindful to the possibility that I may pass them down to someone who can scatter my life long collection to the winds for quick cash...I would prefer to leave them to someone who will want them and keep them together...even if they aren&#039;t related to me...and give my relatives cash and other things. (like gold and silver bullion). But if that person would want to sell the coins, they are fully attributed most of the harder to find ones with all the info they will need....Even if they weren&#039;t and the person laments &#039;why oh why didnt he encase these in a slab and put a grade on it!!, what a burden!!&#039;...My sympathy goes out to that collector <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; I wont lose any sleep on that account.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But again, I think most people are smart enough to know when they see old kings and queens and early dates on a coin passed to them from a collector, it may be worth the effort,[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
