Gold Quest

When my grandfather passes away a few months ago, he left me his gold coin collection in his will.  My grandfather and I had always spent many long Saturday afternoons looking at the collection as I grew up.  I was surprised he left the collection to me.  With the coins was a note that told me that although he enjoyed collecting coins, the gold coins were the best investment he ever made.  He asked me to consider holding on to them for as long as I could and then I would have something to leave my children.

I was only 21 when he died and did not fully understand what gold investing was all about.  When I took some of the coins to a dealer to see what they were worth, I should have realized then what I learned later.  The dealer's eyes nearly popped out of his head and he stammered that he was sure he could find a buyer for the coins.  I told him I only wanted them appraised.

I went to another gold dealer that the first one had recommended because he didn't do that type of thing with such a large collection.  The second dealer wanted to hold the coins and said he would get back to me.  I refused and told him he could take photos and examine the coins while I was waiting but I would not let them out of my possession.  He agreed and set forth to determine the value.

After making copious notes, he told me I could take the coins and he would give me a call in a few days after he checked around.   A few days later, I learned the collection could sell for about half a million to a million dollars depending on whether I broke the collection up.  I was shocked that these gold assets were worth so much.  I put them away and silently thanked my grandfather for his generosity.
