Well, maybe. Since a few coins could be worth > $1k (the 1909-S-VDB penny or the 1916-D dime, as possible examples, depending on condition) while many others are worth melt or face value, not sure that would work equitably.
At least the bulk of the estate - the investments - was transfer on death and bypassed this whole probate process. I basically just have the house and the coin collection to worry about, along with the usual physical stuff like photographs and mementos. Those can be taken care of by having us stand around a table and having a cakewalk, which is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon in fact.
An idea to consider, though. But I have to bear in mind that I will answer to the county commissioner of accounts in the end, and show it was divided properly.
