<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 747362, member: 4552&quot;]Having collected coins and several other hobbies over a period of well over 60 years now, I&#039;ve acccumulated way to much STUFF. For coins too there is way to many. I&#039;ve never sold a coin, never plan on doing that either. No one to leave anything to. Most relatives are well gone now and I don&#039;t mean moved away. Only Son and his wife have no interest in anything of mine including coins. Probably will dump them all in a bank&#039;s counting machine after.</p><p>Not long ago I was diagnosed with stage 4 Cancer, 4 operations, 2 bouts of chemo and lots and lots of medications later and I&#039;m still here, <b>so far</b>. Such medical situations made me think about all those coins and other mountains of collectables that no one else wants. Made me wonder if I should liquidate them all now or enjoy them to the end. However, the constant thought of all those years of collecting something and it just getting treated like something to be disposed of as if worthless, is a little more than irritating. Constant CT scans and X-rays are so far now negative so this may mean even more years to collect coins. But then WHY? </p><p>Hate to drag this sob story on but I remember a friend of mine that was a small arms instructor in the service. He accumulated a massive quantity of guns, ammo, reloading equipment, scopes, etc. After he passed away, his relatives called a gun store, they came in, offered $1,000 for everything and the relatives took that. A situation like that too makes me wonder what to do with what I&#039;ve spent my life accumulating. Could everything end up just being DUMPED? </p><p>I guess as we all get old we start thinking about the future of many things we will not be here for to do anything about. Purpose of a will I guess. And then too, those are of no proof of what is to be done with our personal belongings.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
