And I know that there are some out there that do not believe in graded coins. But I grade my coins not for me but for my wife or my kids encase something happens to me. If I would die it is easier for them to sell the coins and for them to know what they have so they do not get ripped off. I also left a letter in my Bank boxes as to which auction houses or dealers to sell them at. This will help them after you are gone to get the most out of your collection.  I have seen many estates where the widow know nothing about coins and someone has tried to buy her coins for almost nothing. I had a older lady contact me last May wondering about some GSA Morgans that her husband had left her. She saw that her husband had bought them in the 1970's and a man who lives close to her wanted to buy them for $50 each and she ask me if that was too much. I informed her about there value and She was a little upset that this man tried to rip her off. So if your wife and/or kids are not coin collectors leave them detailed instructions on what your coins are worth and who you trust to buy them at a fair price.  Jim[/QUOTE]
