I have no idea what will happen to my collection when I pass away. Possibly someone will dump it all in a bank. Carl do me a favor , before you go let me know of some of the banks that are near you !  |

I would have them put in the coffin with me but I wouldn't be able to see them.

My son has his own collection, so he'll be getting mine. I THINK he may share one or two with his sister, but probably not.....

As my collection is very specialized and would appeal only to limited markets, about 90% (Britain and colonies) goes to Dix Noonan Webb, Baldwin's, or St. James (depending on fees at the time), and the rest (North America) to Heritage. Post-sale distribution of proceeds to wife and son, all as spelled out clearly in my will.

Just in case something happens to me I made an agreement with a friend who is a coin dealer to buy my collection from my family at a fair market price to save them the headache or to help them price it out to be sold as they wish.

I have instructed my kids:
public auction by specialist numismatic auctioneer.
Actually, the auctioneer has been imploring me to sell my collection for about the last 5 years or so, just like a real estate agent, but I have resisted. His turnover is consistently above $10 million per year.
Lower valued coins will be parceled in job lots of 5 to 100 or so,
higher valued coins auctioned as singles.
Total value realized would be in the many 10's of $thousands.

A recent health issue has me thinking about this. I have no clear plan. My collection is strongest in France and Sweden from about 1520-1870.
