    My collection's not that huge, but most of my coins are worth 5x face value or more.

    Best coin I can think of at the moment in my collection is the 'Undated' 20p Mule Mint error coin.

    20 Pence face value, selling for around £45 today. 225x the face value.

    95%+ is a good estimate.

    exchange weight is 1.088 washington silver quarters to one denarius for early denarius. Later issues were smaller weight and worth less.
    Now vote lol

    All of them. I tend to buy fewer coins, but ones of high quality. Many are worth 1000x face value.

    Not sure myself - reread the original post and your post. So I missed it too. :)

    All of my collectors coins are worth at least 5x face. :)
     
  18. I might have read too much into your post. I thought you were implying something else. Either way, I doubt you own a coin that is worth less than 100X face. :D

    I think your avatar is the problem - it's not a cat!

    I have exactly zero cents in my collection but those are out-of-the-ballpark outstanding! Thanks for the pictures.

    Now, let's get that avatar changed...

    This is a very rude question to ask a numismatist.
