Yep, you voiced it well; that's the other thing, really great investments like gold, jewellery, arts and land, your kin won't want to immediately dispose of them when you die like 10,000 salt and pepper shakers.
In theory anyway [insert long personal anecdote about shitty family].
Same with painting and other fine arts
I've got painting from my grandmother who got hers from hers and so forth... These paintings are almost 200 years old in a decorated brass frame
As for land... Like wine, its price only increases with time.
