My son knows that all my coins are going to him when I die. Hmmm, maybe I should be more careful about eating or drinking anything he makes for me from now on? He has had a strange gleam in his eyes for a little while now!

Part of my collection is earmarked to go on to any children we have. We are the third generation to have those particular coins. The rest I will enjoy until I die and then everyone else can fight over them unless I have a little buffalo hunting knight to follow in my footsteps

I guess I will stop only when my faculties do not allow me to continue. This is all in the distant future and by then I hope to have interested one or both of my kids and they will get them. If not, my poor wife who will no doubt out-live me will be burdened downed with the lot.

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!!!



Option 6...."Give them up for adoption".....Mmmmmmmm most tempting, at least they will be looked after....[:p]

Hey lim theres always a quiet little corner of New Zealand to look after your coins after your gone.Its not as far away

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...


Beat me to it. That is exactly what I was going to say.

As a fairly healthy 28 year old I have not given it much thought. In theory, my Daughter will really be into numismatics and She can have them all. However, since She is not even one year old, coins are nothing more than an shiny choking hazard.

Collecting now and selling them with profit later.
See it like a retirement help as what you get normally is not enough.
