I guess I was wishful thinking about this being a hypothetical situation. Prayers for you and your family. No one is immune to your situation. We all shall face our own mortality one day. Hopefully later than sooner. Stay strong in your quest. Peace and comfort to you fellow coin lover.

I cant believe your situation there is simply no way I can say how bad I feel for you. I swear that I truly mean it when I say it honestly kills me a little every time I read something like this on CCF. I cant really come up with a good suggestion right now but just remember when you are feeling down that there are strangers around the world praying for you.

you're very brave going through this and remember that you are only a couple clicks away from people who care...
Feel free to call me Will.

cardman06,
Feel free to vent here to your CCF friends whenever you feel the need. Take things as slow as possible and try not to overwhelm yourself. Is there a friend there in Florida you can talk with? Keep us updated please,you have us (me) a bit concerned.

This pretty much said it all.

You are in my prayers and hope that you can find consolation in a spiritual or religious way.

If everyone's gonna be praying, I might as well do it too. All you gotta do is believe they will be heard. You are in my thoughts as well, Mr. cardman06.

I sympathize with you brother. Here is a website that may help you out. They have raised significant money for many things WAY LESS important than your situation.

Sorry to hear. Wishing you the best.

If selling them doesn't appeal, it might be something you could donate to local cub scout and girl scout troops - I'm sure there's plenty the kids could learn from the coins.

It's times like this that we are reminded of our priorities once again. Prayers for peace and comfort, my friend.
Rest in Peace

Sorry about the bad news, and the fact that you won't be handing down to your children any of your coins. have you thought about having a family member or close friend put up your coin collection In a major auction ? will get a lot more that way then a coin dealer. and yes get yourself a lawyer.
you are in our prayers at CCF.

Prayers as well. Miracles happen!! The part I think is being overlooked is homeless in 60 days. Depending on prognosis id say take care of that by selling your collection and have one less worry on your full plate. And if/when miracle happens then you can always start a new collection. Either that or go full out bucket list and go somewhere that will put a smile on your face to wipe the tears of selling your collection.

I know how you feel. I am old and no one to leave anything to. Might just start liquidating all soon. Then what to do with the cash from the sales? Guess just give to charities. Not sure what else to do. Sorry to hear about your situation but still might improve. Just pray.
