[Always liked the Carson City's. What I don't know is why C was assigned to Charlotte and CC to Carson City, whereas D was assigned to both Dahlonega and Denver.] 🤔 Â
Â
Probably because they were not named Denver City or Dahlonega City.Â

Always good to check them annually. No place to keep them at home ?
I have thought about that, but even though I do have an alarm and cameras, it just seems less safe to have them here, especially the more valuable ones.
At our age, we travel a good bit and are not here.
The part I said about it is sad is that all those wonderful coins are just sitting in a dark box, no one looking at them. While the money is nice to have, knowing someone would enjoy them as I did for years would be even better. I know if I sell, I will have no control, but would hope they go to collectors, not investors.

An Excel Spreadsheet with purchase and market prices plus a few contact names of people you trust can prevent that situation quite easily.
I have all coins cataloged in CoinManage. However, that does not mean that they (heirs) will wait for the right prices, especially children wanting other things and wanting them now. I am closing in on 70, and I am thinking it is getting closer to time to maybe make sure my collection goes into other collectors hands where they will be appreciated, and get decent money for them.
Â
ETA: Quite honestly, 3/4 of my collection is in two large safe deposit boxes at the bank, and it has been over 3 years since I have opened either box. I know, that is sad.

After 57 years in the hobby, I'm lost on what to do next. I just retired from a really cool job I have had for 40 years. It was a fun ride. Never thought much about what I would do when I reached this point in life. It may be time for me to stop buying and start selling. Can't really find a different direction to go.Â
I am at that point also. No one in my family is interested in coins. I might as well get some use out of the cash instead of my wife or kids selling them for 10 cents on the dollar after I am gone.Â
