Buried with a Coin...

[TonerGuy]

Kings, Queens & Pharaohs have all done it - been laid to rest with jewels and other riches.

 

Is there a coin that you would want with you for all of eternity ?

 

Perhaps a special coin passed down from a loved one...

 

Or for the atheists, is there a coin you wouldnt want anyone else to ever own ? ...

 

I think there is one coin I would take with me... a 1922 Peace $ I got from my grandfather when he passed his collection on to me. Something symbolic - a pocket piece for the next life...

 

What would you have in your pocket ?

a fishing hook

Probably my reading glasses. That way when I get to the fork in the big highway, I can see what list I'm on and what arrow to follow.

I don't have any coins that can withstand cremation. Since I like Morgans, maybe I'll have my ashes spread over the Comstock Lode.

No.

 

I would leave my coins for others. If not family than other collectors.

 

Do you have children? You may decide to pass on your grandfathers coin rather than bury it

Technically they withstand as bullion.

I'm I buried in a coin? Yeah, a number of them....oh...wait...that's not what you asked.

 

I'd either try to sell off my collector before I go OR leave the coins to wife or son with instructions on how to sell.

I'd take a flashlight and a toned Morgan... just in case they got it wrong

Im not suggesting being buried with an entire collection. We are merely stewards of the coins we posses and keep them safe for future generations.

 

But the world wont miss one 1922 Peace $ that my grandfather gave me.

 

I dont have children but I would leave rest of the collection he gave me to a grand-nephew as of right now.

"But the world won’t miss one 1922 Peace $ that my grandfather gave me."

 

However, your decedents might miss the story and family lore that accompany the coin.

I would take a POP 1 coin if I own one, and not have it in my collection just to keep people busy looking for it.......MAILMAN

You can stick anything in the ground with you but it won't make it to where ever you're headed. Your soul, however is a different story.

Well, if I was going to take something with me to the next life, I think I'd want to take my Ferrari!

 

But if I had to settle for a coin then just about any one would do I'd just have to be sure to take some pants with me............you know, to carry it around in.

[McBlzr]

Just in case they bury me with my Gold Buffalo collection !

 

[Raisethis2]

I've always embraced the idea that we're just caretakers of the things we collect. Accordingly, I find it pretty easy to sell things I really like. Taking something with me doesn't interest me at all. It would sadden me to know others would be denied enjoyment of it.

My phone

I have a 1954 Nickel I carry. It's worn and battered. I carry it because a really good friend gave it to me one day after not having seen or spoken to him in 7 years. So it reminds me there is always a chance to recover things we've lost.

[thebeav]

I thought this thread was going to be about being buried "IN" a coin.....I don't know where I'd start.....

I would see no value for the living to have the dead buried with valuables. Maybe the obolus or danake for the ferry ride over the river Styx. We wouldn't want to not have the right coin for the ferryman, Charon would we?

Of course, if it's modern transportation like a city bus you better have exact change...
