When I die, which could be any day now, I plan to donate my collection to
some appreciative institution so that my spousal unit can take a tax
write-off. But I've been told she could do better by selling it, which I
find hard to believe because so much of my collection is "obscure" stuff -
micros - that never show up on a list. I've also been told that she would
not be able to declare the total value of the appraised collection if she
donated it. Anyone have any info on this?
