    HI guys,


    I thought this would be a fun question. Without saying what type or kind of you coins you have. How many or about how many coins do you have in you coin collections. DON'T SAY WHAT KIND. This is the Internet after all. Just how many. Dosnt matter how many pennys or if there from another country or if there silver and gold. Also how many years have you been collecting coins.

    How many?

    How Long?

    OK. if we're just talking "coins", I'll guess 10,000.

    Of course, "coins" are only a part of my collection.

    I wonder how many I'll get in the end.

    The price of the coins I am buying is climbing ever higher, so the ammount I purchace is getting lower.

    But as is the saying, one £300 coin is better than 30 £10 coins.

    I don't think I could even give an estimate.One day I'll try but not right now.Probably 800-1000 ancient to renaissance era coins,every proof and mint set since 1954,almost complete Lincolns and Mercurys,complete Roosies,JFK's,Jeff's,Sac's,Silver dollars from every year plus a few,euro set,ASE's,statehood quarters,complete Philly year sets 1934-1954 and dozens of US commems,US non-gold (for the most part) type set with extras,brown & blue Ikes,all the westward journey nickel rolls,and numerous rolls of spare wheaties and mercs.That plus a couple of hundred 16th-20th century foreign coins of interest.I dunno but 5,000+ seem like a good ballpark figure?

    I don't even know how to begin to guess. Perhaps 1,000. I've been collecting for about 14 years, I think.
