    About 20 coins. I am picky as to what I consider my collection. I have bags of common wheat cents and junk silver that I don't consider to be my collection. Same goes with my Bullion coins, not part of my collection. I just started collecting a year ago and I am just buying inexpensive coins that I like. I spent $75.00 on a PCGS 1887 MS64 Morgan. That's about the highest I will go dollar wise until I learn more. I like Ikes a lot because of the reverse. The Eagle on the Moon with the Earth in the background fascinates me. So that might be my first set to go after.

    Depends on the accounting method used:
    My method -- too few
    My wife's -- too many.

    Is that related to Boogie Fever?

    I have no idea (about the number of coins, not about Boogie Fever). Is that a good or bad thing?

    It's a sane thing, just for starters.

    I sold about 10000 wheat and 500+ Indian cents, 20 buffalo rolls and 8 liberty nickel rolls last month to downsize to about 1000 coins (cents to dollars). It's nice to shed a few pounds. From now on I'm on a coin diet.

    I'll never count them, to me its irrelevant. My grandson may when I pass on.
