    I wonder how many people have a collection with only one coin?

    Technically none, as Webster defines collection as a group of things or people. In actuality, I would guess very few unless the coin was inherited or purchased for investment.

    I know one guy who mostly does bullion but has 1 rare coin and it is a 25k double eagle. Its pretty nice actually

    give me $85K with the limitation of spending $1K per coin and let the hunt begin...

    Five $17,000 coins would be pretty cool too.

    1 coin. Easy to bring with me to anywhere I go.

    I can see that. As much as we like to think about it, I think very few people could actually own just 1 coin.

    He isn’t a collector he just fell in love with the coin when picking up some bullion. There dealer showed him when wrapping up the transaction, caught his attention and he bought it a couple of weeks later. That said he has plenty of Cert 50$ AGE so maybe not his only coin. For the rest of us we are hoarders.

    1 $25K coin
    7 $5K coins
    20 $1K coins
    10 $500 coins

    I consider bullion coins to be coins so to me he would have a lot of coins.

    If he had the 1 coin and non-denominated gold bars, I would consider that 1 coin.

    I'd go for the $85K coin. I'd like to have something really special, with a great story.

    An $85K coin is like having all your eggs in one basket. I'd rather have several nice coins of lesser value in the $1k to $5K range.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
