I hope to pass my coins down to my kids if they want them. If they do not want them then mabye one of my nefews or neices will collect coins I am already starting on the oldest who is 7 years old. He is a little intersted so if my kids do not want them if he still likes coin they will go to him. or if not then I guess it is up to what she want to do with them. Either sell them and get back some of that money she thinks I waste on coins.lol or give them to a carity that would use them. you never know hope my kids collect someday and they will keep them.

Hard one to respond to ....  Let me see..... Option 1 ...."Pass it on to a reli" ....nope, would not darken the doors of any of them Option 2..."Sell it for retirement" ...Nope, do not like the prospect of twidling my thumbs for the reat of my days without my collection to keep me company and may I add my sanity. Option 3...."Take it with me"....Nope, my grave would be robbed Option 4..."Let someone else worry about it" ...this option has certain appeal. Option 5 ...."Other" .....Given all of the above, this is the only one I can vote for...  |

my collection is already my daughters if something should happen to me. we call it her college fund so it may be sold to further her education someday in the next 15 years, but hopefully it wont have to go for that and she will still be as interested in collecting when that final day comes for me as she is now.

Hey LIM you forgot about Option #6- store collection in free storage in Indiana!!! Our door is always open to homeless coins regardless of country of origin. Here they receive tender loving care, a roof over there head (never out in the weather) and other coins to play with! Your coins will be treated like our own!!!

If any of my cousins that are semi-interested in coins are still collecting when my time comes, my collection will probably go to them. If not, my sister knows she gets everything of mine to do with as she sees fit. I just hope she doesn't covet anything of mine and start getting ideas...  Rachel [:p] |

Terry and I have been through this before. We both offer pretty much the same thing. He is willing to take care of the coins in Indiana, and I would look after them in Colorado. One big difference Lim, we don't have tornados is western Colorado!
My coins will go to our three children in the hope they would keep them in the family, and pass them down to the next generation.

In the year 2010, I plan to sell it all...
My kids have a mild interest in numismatics and face it, we are just temporary custodians of our coins (or anything material for that matter).
Many of our coins have been around much longer than we have and will survive us much longer after we depart this earth.
So with that said, I will be 50 in the 2010 and I figured that will be a good year to sell (there or less). Part of collecting is that I enjoyed the search, the hunt, the buy, the acquisition, and I want to be able to enjoy the sale of it.

Well I answered sell it for retirement but I ment all that junk MS64-MS65 gold in the bankvault vrenellis and 10 guilders and 20 f Alberts ; Leopolds and those Sovs and angels and roosters and Wilhelms etc For 25 years these have really been my way of saving for retirement and it is very nice of people bidding all that up by 50% the last 9 months or so My main problem will be to determine the core I want to die owning  |

In the final analysis, the true purpose of my coin collection is to finance my retirement. When I retire, it all goes.
Of course, I plan on spending my retirement years collecting coins.....
