+Ladycacher Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 What would happen to your coin collection if something happened to you? My husband and I were having one of those conversations of what we would do with certain things we own, then my coins come up. Of course I thought what a good topic as a what if situation. My collection would stay in my husbands hands for my kids. I told him that I want them to have something of mine that I collected, enjoyed, loved, and drove me insane trying to keep up with. He agreed and to the Will it will go. So what would you do or want? Quote Link to comment
SCP-173 Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 When I die just throw 'em in the incinerator with my body, melt 'em down and then mint & sell the "true" Vargseld geocoin. Seriously though, I'd just see to it that someone who would appreciate them would inherit them. Quote Link to comment
+AtlantaGal Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I have no idea. Since coins are not the only thing I collect, I'm not sure what would become of my "stuff." I don't think anyone in my family would want it. I mean these are items that interest me. I'd hope whoever my benficiary was would sell it and do something nice with the money... either donate it to charity in my name or make sure my pets were spoiled rotten for as long as they out lived me --- and my parrot will most likely out live me regardless.

+Cav Scout Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 (edited) Mine would probably end up in a garage sale. Even though geocoins are popular among geocachers they are not popular among muggles. It would just be seen as a coin with a strange name, picture, and the muggle wondering what geocaching meant. I have a better chance of my 1960s GI Joe collection suriving a garage sale. Edited October 30, 2005 by Cav Scout Quote Link to comment

Son of Cyclops Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I would make sure my son/daughter gets the coins when I die or someone who likes them a lot. Quote Link to comment

+Bigdawg! Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Someone cleaning the house won't know what they are, thinking there just kids toys and sell them in the garage sale for $5 for the lot or 10 cents a piece. As far as Vargselds , can I get two of the limited edition burial coins Quote Link to comment
Son of Cyclops Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 New plan, wait till every geocoin is in the collection, put it in a high safty vault, wait 30 years, sell on ebay for $20,000,000. Quote Link to comment
+jcar Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 If my wife did not exit with me my geopals would probably get most of them, if we both exited my Dad would probably sell them on Ebay, like he does everything else. I think he would be in for a surprise (When I have shown him the coins he just says nice piece of metal). Quote Link to comment

YemonYime Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 As far as Vargselds , can I get two of the limited edition burial coins Announcing the Official Vargseld?™ v.2 coins, now with real chunks of Vargseld?™ baked right into the enamel. Quantities are limited, so reserve yours today! Disclaimer: One actual Vargseld?™ was harmed in the making of this coin. Another disclaimer: I'm kidding. This would be an interesting way to go, but Hunter S. Thompson raised the bar as far as cremation goes. Having your ashes packed into fireworks and shot out of a 150 foot cannon...priceless.

+Night_Hawk Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I've been a collector of U.S. coins since JR High and everyone in my family knows that if anything happens to me the coins (U.S. and Geo) are to be set aside for my son. I've also told my son that if he sells any of them I'll haunt him for the rest of his life Quote Link to comment

+graylling Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Who said you can't take it with you?? I know my kids would not be in the least interested so I figure I might as well take them with me. They used to do that in the old days didn't they? After all with the price of some of these on ebay they are as good as gold. Quote Link to comment

+Damenace Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Well I have to tell you that this is an interesting question. If I had to make a guess I would say the garbage. My family has no understanding of what I am even doing this for. So much for those Moun10bike coins, the Dhobby1 Ver. 1 coin and the complete set of MIGO Seasonals. They all would be sitting in the landfill . Yikes that makes me have nightmares. Quote Link to comment

SCP-173 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I'm going to have an ammo can embeded in my tombstone. The coins will be the swag. Awww jeez, I thought I would be the only one to do that (the ammo box embedded in the grave thing). It would say "Here lays Vargseld, who just loved geocaching to death". Quote Link to comment
+Ladycacher Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 I think my headstone will be made out of concrete to look like a ammo can (so muggles can not remove it). Then it will be a permanet geocache, but I will haunt you if you leave a McDonalds toy!!! Quote Link to comment
+M&M Hunter Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 I was thinking I'd make mine a multi cache... have a set of coords on the head tone and send them somewhere else for the cache. Quote Link to comment

Good idea....coords engraved into the stone. My fear would be the other cache getting muggled and nobody to look after it. Quote Link to comment
