My wife asked me at what age will I sell my collection and add it to our retirement? ummmm after the homeless guy next to us asks how much I want for you. Then I started to think that we are just custodians of our little history pieces and some day our kids will get paid for how good of a job we do at keeping our items.  |

The coins would be the last thing to go. That is, I would move into a cardboard box before I parted with them. Do I own them? While I breath, of course I do. But when I am gone, do I own anything? Of course not; as the saying goes, you cannot take it with you.  |

yes, we own them. But I think we should handle with care for those that will own them later on.

If I see appreciation, interest and care from the kids or grandkids then they're going to inherit them, if not then I will probably sell them at some point. If I am not in any economic stuggles then I would like to bury some just for the heck of it. Maybe some generic 1oz rounds or some ASE's to give some person down the road one heck of a surprise ha ha ha. I'll leave some vaugue map or something for people to go nuts over. |

RealPeso, that's an awesome idea. I thought of doing the same thing!
Maybe bury a $1000 coin in a giant chest filled with wood shavings or something...

I think we are mere caretakers of the coins while we have them in out possession not that we own them because they will surely last longer than we do
