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
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.

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.
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.

I like this idea. Oh the coins I would buy!
Five $17,000 coins would be pretty cool too.

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

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