Sorry I did reply sooner we have had Internet troubles. My collection has around 850+ coins in it. All low grade, modern items. But the story of how I got is good. We were moving my grandma from Texas and she had some teddy bear banks that were full of coins. I thought just cash them into the bank, but my grandma said to go through them and look for errors. I had no knowledge of coin collecting at that time and when I pulled out the first coin and found out it was silver, I nearly fell out of my chair. At first I knew very little, but as I read some books and then discovered the forums, I have learned a lot and am still learning.

 

Wouldn't scare me away if I were a theif but may prove instrumental in getting me caught as I would most likely stick around to play with her for a few

 

Is a guard snake an effective security measure?

More importantly, if she's sleeping on piles of treasure, do you think she pretends she's a dragon?

 

Haha!

 

I have about 250-500 coins total.

 

This made me curious and from my brief test I'd say the answers are no and no.

 

Thanks for the pics of snakes now I'm gonna have nightmares tonite!

 

I like it!

 

She's only 7' and about 20 pounds. My daughter loves her

 

Whoa

 

Sorry, this is a TMI conversation. I'd suggest you don't document your collections all too well in here. It's one thing at a coin show or club meet with other collectors. It's a whole other ball of wax with unknown lurkers in the audience building up a hit list.

 

All very true but as Jeff Foxworthy said " size don't matter but it sure would take a long,long time to get to England in a row boat"

As for how many coins I will not confirm nor deny it's all relative by comparison through the eyes of someone else.

 

Good point, but I remember idesofmarch exhibiting his amazing collection of gold 12 Caesars coins worth probably 100k.

 

I bet her favorite one is that Sssssssegs Ssssssslab or the PCGSsssssss's

 

I sold all of mine!

 

What coins?

 

Merely posting on this site tells the world you have a coin collection, so that ship has already sailed.

To each his own, of course, when it comes to comfort levels, but I don't think anyone is increasing their risk by saying how many coins they have in their collection, as long as they don't provide a detailed listing.

 

Separate from Conder101's magnum opus on slabs of all types, I wrote the book Sample Slabs in 2015. If you have a question on samples, I am happy to try to answer it, either on this forum or in a private message.

 

My actual collection is somewhat less than a hundred coins my inventory of coins for sale is several hundred and I don't count junk silver etc. I focus more on high value individual coins than volume
