<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 747189, member: 19423&quot;]Exactly, even those of you who are adamant that you&#039;re just a collector and will hold your coins till you die should of course consider your collection as part of your overall estate plan.&nbsp; Since your death is your exit strategy in that case, make sure you have planned well so that your heirs are left in the best position as possible. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As ldhair points out, tax planning is part of the story.&nbsp; Though you should note that in almost all cases the 15% long term capital gains rate is NOT applicable to sales of coins/bullion.&nbsp; Coins/bullion are generally treated as &quot;collectibles&quot; for tax purposes and gains on collectibles are taxed at a long-term rate of 28%!!!!!!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>You should of course not rely on advice here on the message boards but instead consult with an attorney who can look at your specific estate plan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
