    Sorry.

    I'd rather donate to my personal collection and to my kids college funds, but that's just me being honest.

    where does the money donated ultimately go ? Do they collect on behalf of worthy causes ? I'm not old but i'm kinda old school in that my xmas charity is the salvation army.

    Right now I'm my own charity, but if I had a choice, I'd give to The American Red Cross or the USO.

    None of the above.

    Definitely the ANS, since Bob Hoge works there.

    Neither. I don't know very much about the ANS, and I'd wonder where the bulk of my money would go at the ANA.

    Neither, but that's just my personal preference.

    Just donated a vehicle to one of my Dad's favorites. One of his goals after retirement was to spend some time working with them. Unfortunately, he never made it.

    It's just an opinion, but it seems to me that too much of ANS effort goes to ancients, so people with that focus should donate more there. I know it has changed somewhat, but that's been burned into my brain for a long time. I was only a member of ANS for a few years and am an ANA Life Member, so call me biased. Typically I divide my donation money by 4 or 8, then put together a list...I usually run out of money before I get to numismatic orgs.

    I can't imagine in my worst nightmare donating to either of those organizations.

    As for battling coin doctors, I have made suggestions on the record that date back 7-8 years-
