Always wanted to run a poll, so I made up a question... How many coins are in your collection (actual coins, not just types)?
great question. I will count them tonight. 1,000-2,500 ? actual number tomorrow. you should make a separate poll stating how long it will take to count each persons collection lol. I am guessing it will take me 1/2 hour ? lol
Clutch went out of the Pete today. Transmission has 1.6 million on it. Taxes and Have my eye on a couple of 2k+ coins
485 total, but only 255 in active collections (that is, not counting an incomplete OFEC collection that I haven't touched in years). Thanks for an interesting question. Had never thought to count them.
261 but I am counting proof sets as one... I don't know why, but that's how they are in my spreadsheet. -L
Should I include the 18,000+ Westward Journey nickels that are in Mint bags, Mint rolls, OBW rolls & tubes? Chris
Zero coins, plenty of books and catalogs, though. I do attend as many coin shows as possible and catch and release exceptional coins when I come upon them. For now, I'm focusing on grading skills, counterfeit detection, description skills, etc, preparing for what will hopefully be a career. Jesse
Still counting...lol...already over 500...estimating 2000. Truly had no idea before I asked the question.
Logical (?) follow up question...what is the face value of all the coins in your collection. Convert to U.S. dollars.
I think this would be a question that may go unanswered. Being a public forum, you could expose members to the attention of unscrupulous individuals. It is never a good idea to expose yourself in this manner. If desperate enough, even a hundred dollars could draw a response from the wrong crowd. IMHO.
done lol. 1,069 coins total collected in a 16 year period. total worth will be kept secret. break down: miscellaneous coins :558 this includes all my albums, statehood quarters, merc dimes, American parks quarters, sac dollars, presidential dollars. world coins. coins with insects: 200 coins with stars: 124 coins with hands: 110 coins with small coins as the design: 25 error coins: 17 rainbow toned coins: 14 pop out coins: 9 parody quarters: 11 parody dollar/Daniel Carr: 1 took me about an hour to find it all. hidden in various places in my apartment.
I'll go to the bank and get $1,000.00 worth of pennies so I'd have a 100,000 coin collection. Quantity is irrelevant.
