If I could I would leave everything to somebody I thought DESERVED it. "Desreving" may have several different meanings. But I'm sure you guys know what I mean!

There's one forum that's permanently sticky because of the death of the user. I wonder how the moderators knew the user was dead.

Now that is obvious. The user called and told them he was dead.

I'm not gonna do anything with it after I die,,,,,cause i'd be dead

AAHHHhhhhhhh another pesimist. I'm a optimist and predict after I go, I'll stick around anyway just to make sure none of my Mercury dimes end up in vending machines.

I really try not to think of what will happen to everything I own. Not just the coins but everything. Think I will take it with.

Find a young collector that I can mentor a bit, and he/she can show me that they are truly interested in coins, and then leave it to them.

My kids have no interest in coins at all, in fact, I'm pretty sure they're anti-coin because of all the time I've spent talking about it not to mention the trips to coin shops where they stand around bored to death. I'm hoping they have paid enough attention to know they should take them to one of the shops in the area but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if they tried to stick them in a coinstar machine. LOL

If I don't get killed suddenly, like in a car crash or something similar, I do have some plans. The town I live in put out several civil war store cards and I've been working on a set of those for some time. Again, if there is time, I'd like to attend a major show (just attending a major show is kind of a bucket list thing by itself) and possibly trade or sell most of what I have and work on that store card set. When the time comes I'd like to donate the set to the local library as a display.

are you asking what will happen to youre account on CCF or your coins once you die? I at first thought you were talking about a persons Nickname on the forum when I first read it, but see others thought something else. I am sorry to say we have had a few members that are no longer with us, and usually if those members are a staple of the community, their nick usually gets retired. We actually had one member leave us about 2 years ago suddenly and another big name that I am sure the members have heard of even though they don't know who he was nor never met him, but we have a foundation in his name on this forum that keeps his spirit alive to help YN's get a start in the hobby

Yah, I've decided that I'm gonna get my wife to chuck all of my coins into the coffin with me ... because just imagine getting up to heaven and then finding out that St Peter will give you a far better cot and a room with a view if you grease his palm with a few minty Ikes! ...

... or worse case scenario => if I happen to land in the ol' burning basement, then I'm pretty sure that my Canadian Devil's Face collection should buy me some slack for the first little while!?

I still believe they are talking about your CCF account, not your coins once you die, especially since there is already another topic asking what will happen to your coins that has been going for awhile here https://goccf.com/t/102651

What I always wonder about is, when something happens to me, how long will it be before it's noticed that I'm gone. And how will it be determined what actually happened to me?

Frightening subject and some horrible results if not properly figured out ahead of time. As an example I've mentioned this before. Back when my Dad passes away, he was living alone and due to distance, I was only able to visit him about once a Month. He passed away and I never did figure out who found him. However, he was taken to the Morgue and his place was ransacked for absolutely everything. Even the couch he died on was taken. There was nothing left there at all. One rather nice neighbor was able to salvage most of the papers he had in a safe. The safe was opened and anything of value was also taken.
I guess it sort of pays to try to find as many friends as possible as you get older but older people just don't make new freinds easily either. As you get older and have valuabale items laying around, we all should really find someone to check up on us frequently.
