[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 449936, member: 112"]Your collection presents a somewhat unique problem. That problem is that just because you think your coins are worth multiples of the list price - that does not mean that anybody else thinks the same. Yes, there are others out like you out there Lehigh, but very few. And quite honestly, this fascination with toned coins by a few collectors willing to pay outrageous prices for toned coins has only existed for the past few years. Now because of that, I personally don't think it will continue to exist that much longer. Yes, I could be wrong, but history says otherwise. And before someone else brings it up, yes there have been lovers of toned coins for nearly as long as collectors have existed. However, those collectors were not willing to pay outrageous premiums for their coins. Yes they would pay a premium, but seldom if ever would they pay even 2x list. Never in their wildest dreams would they more than that. So, what I would expect to happen is that long before you ever have to worry about what your heirs might do, the prices for the coins in your collection will come back to reality. And you my friend will take a very nasty bath.[/QUOTE]
