Yes, you need to report it on Schedule D. If you received a 1099-B, follow these instructions and mark the sale as a collectible sale. The basis is whatever the deceased family paid for them.
If you did not receive the 1099-B, report it in the same section and just answer NO to the Did you receive a 1099-B? question. This discussion covers the sale of gold with no tax form.
