The coins will be of such a nature as to be WOW coins. They will not necessarily
be the highest grade or the rarest dates( although many will be condition rare)
but they will be the nicest coins I can find and afford. If this collection is not needed
to provide for the needs of the wife and I, my executor will be instructed, to hold the
collection for a period of 15 - 20 years. At that point, the collection will have the look,
grade, slab and length of time, needed to maximize their value. I would expect my somewhat
modest investment, to be worth well in excess of 1,000,000, to be split between our two sons.
One might consider this a gift of love, across the space of time and place, to provide for their needs
as they begin to reach their 60s. What good would be all of my experience and knowledge of coins,
If I could not assemble such a collection for our son's future needs. When you see all of the pictures
of all of the coins,I would welcome your opinion as to whether I have succeeded or not in my goal. Of
course, the coins will all be PCGS and the collection ,will contain as many PLUS grades as I can find.

Unless you're already factoring that in.

If two of them bid against each other, I got it made. I expect the real value to
exceed the ravages of inflation by a large margin. I have not calculated the actual
inflation rate, since I am not sure that the historic rate of 3% will continue to be valid
in the economic disaster yet to come.

I gotta look at the terms of my will again!
I give away money. I collect money.
I don’t love money . I do love the Lord God.
at the will , the future and the financial where withal , to be left to the family.

course, the coins will all be PCGS and the collection ,will contain as many PLUS grades as I can find. Why? A plus grade in and of itself means nothing. Would you rather have a 63+ than a 64 ?
I had started my collection from what my Mother left me when she collected hers over 40 years ago. So for the past 25 years i have also collected and continue to do so .... all i need to do is look my kid and know that she will one day inherit what not only i have put together but what her grandmother did. I can only hope that she will not have the necessity to ever part with them but instead do the same for her children and grow the collection for them as well...
many, many of them are truly beautiful in almost any high grade.
That could mean MS-63+ , MS-64+ and up thru MS-67+. They are
truly, quality coins. Now having said that, they must still meet the
collectors own strict guidelines, of what is expected from such a coin.
Once the coin passes that scrutiny , the the quality plus, becomes a
monetary plus.

you worked and played hard to get what you have
it is your turn to burn the candle at both ends - with mama bear in tow.
kids can fend for themselves
enjoy what you have now Abe- you know that time is short and it gets harder each day
go play and send us pics of the good time you are having on what took you years to build.
<< <i>I would agree, perhaps not all + coins are created equal,however,

How can an MS-63+ coin be better than a 64? I think you are still missing the point.
MS-64+ Liberty Seated Half 1850-O to my collection. However, not all collectors
are in the same financial position as I am and thus the collect what they can afford.
If you read my criteria for the collection, you know where, no, it is not ATS, then you
will better understand what I intend to collect. You can also see pictures of all the coin
I have on hand at the present time. I believe the picture and my explanations will answer
any questions as to what I believe will do well in the future decades. Not everyone has just sold
their house for a profit and has the cash on hand to indulge their visions for the future.
