How many Numismatic items did you purchase in 2022?

golden

I purchased 23 coins both US and Foreign, zero currency and one Red Book. I was surprised that I had bought that many coins this year.

MidLifeCrisis

I purchased 3 coins.

VanHalen

Probably several hundred but most were rolls of BU cents. Individual coins about 10 raw and 10 slabbed.

ShaunBC5

15-20 including pickups for the wife and kids and some slab boxes.

renomedphys

It looks like I bought 6 coins for my personal collection, and about 15 more were bought and resold.

The ones for my personal set include a perfect AU 1795 Lettered Edge cent (S-75), a 12 star 1808 cent (S-277), three Flying Eagle proofs of differing dates, and a 1914 Matte Proof Lincoln.

All in all a productive year for acquisitions. One of my fliers is "presently" unique and another is one of five known for the die variety. The third one is okay too being as it is a top pop (1/0)

I was also able to briefly own a few other amazing coins that for whatever reason I let slip through my fingers.

I can only hope that 2023 is as rewarding.

Happy New Year, and Good Hunting!

PillarDollarCollector

Was able to add 3 coins total but very happy with my year and with the coins I was able to purchase. My goal every year is to add 2-3 coins that make me happy.

2022 = Goal accomplished

Lots. More than I will buy in 2023. It was fun.

ricko

Just a few medals with a nautical theme, and a couple of coins early in the year that attracted me. This was a slow year in coins for me. Spent a fair amount of time with coin books, and also looking online. Just did not see a lot that demanded to join my collection. I really like the CWT Our Navy '61 that I picked up. Cheers, RickO

Took advantage of the buying frenzy at FUN and sold all but a few treasured items. No purchases this year.

mirabela

Six minor bullion-related items and one "real" though comparatively inexpensive collector coin.

I also ordered something pretty cool just this week but it won't be here until mid January so I'm looking at it more like a 2023 acquisition.

keyman64

27 that I can count right now with 11 that arrived today on 12/31.

NeophyteNumismatist

I am new, so there are several. I bought 10 coin books, renewed my EAC membership, renewed my Greysheet membership, 2 Dansco albums. I bought about 20 coins to advance my sets.

Gosh that's 34.

My plan for 2023 is different. I will probably still buy several books, but I am only looking to buy 2-4 coins that are at the upper end of my "per coin" budget and will collectively come-in ~my annual budget.

divecchia

I bought at least 22 PCGS graded coins this year for the three U.S. Type sets that I am working on.

Below is my last pickup of the year. This arrived on 12/30/2022.

My goal for 2023 is to focus on and finish my "Basic U.S. Coin Design Set (1792-present)"

Happy hunting to all for 2023!!!

sniocsu

At least 100

pcgscacgold

@divecchia Love that $3 62+CAC coin you added. Here is my lesser 62CAC. I like the date as it is a one year type set coin (not recognized but many but is by me). Along with this addition are probably 10-12 others. I sold off well over 1000 coins this year (mostly 90% rolls, Peace, Morgans and ASE's). Took advantage of the huge premiums a few weeks back.

BryceM

4 slabbed coins and few things during a visit to the Philly mint with my daughter's family. A mint set for each of the kids and a 1/10 oz gold commem for me.

Shamika

Zero. I'm a patient collector.

Basically ditto on all. I only need the Draped Bust $10 and I will complete that type set. Money is set aside for it, just need to find an example I like.

tmcmiller

Great post! Fun to look back!

6 Mint State Morgan's (I am a toner guy)
Draped Bust 1806/5 Large Stars 50 Cent VF CAC
1835 Capped Bust 50 Cent AU 50 (toner - not CAC)
1838 Capped Bust Reeded Edge 50 Cent AU 53 (toner - not CAC)
1902 Liberty $2.5 MS 65 (love Gold CAC)
1907 Liberty $2.5 MS 66 (not CAC)
1884 Liberty $10 AU 55 (love Gold CAC)
1897 Liberty $20 MS 63 (CAC)

Whew! I have started posting pictures (taken by Gerry Fortin - still figuring this out on my own), and am still "learning" my way on the threads! Mike

jesbroken

Bought 32 and sold 41, not counting rolls. Probably 15 or so bu rolls, which I keep.
Jim
Edited to add: I also bought 9 new coin books, 7 of which are early large and early half cent books.

FlyingAl

Edit: sorry, original post here was in wrong thread.

No idea how many coins I bought this year. I'd have to dig through my purchases .

dbldie55

A bunch, I started an Australian 5 Cent set, so a bunch of raw coins, that I had PCGS grade as well as keeping up with my Canadian 5 Cent and Jefferson sets.

For my Liberty Nickel Set, I upgraded 4 MS65's to MS66. Also picked up quite a few raw varieties.

P0CKETCHANGE

28 PCGS slabs and a few books.

Edit: I also sold almost as many slabs, now that I look at it.

Walkerfan

Three MS Seated Dollars and a MS Morgan.

vulcanize

Finally managed to get a whole bunch of my stuff graded.
Have a full set of Morgans in slabs sans the 1895 and instead of upgrades, was very tempted to complete the Dansco collection in the raw instead of busting it out from slabs, but am too chicken to do it with all the fakes floating around.
So picked up partial collections of Barber as well as Mercury dimes to sift through them but most were lower grade than what is already in my collection.
Notably, perhaps my first time that NOTHING was bought from the mint.

asheland

If I’m not mistaken, 23 coins.
Plus a few pieces of silverware, another thing I avidly collect no currency surprisingly. A few select pieces of pottery although I’ve slowed down with that.

OAKSTAR

I bought several of these about 6 months ago.

Glen2022

According to my wife, way too many.

Mr_Spud

At least 31 slabbed ones and about 5 raw ones

DeplorableDan

I bought 4 coins, but I sold 7

I'm not sure I recognize that. Is it an adapter for old ANACs slabs to fit in PCGS boxes?

I bought 45 coins: 31Barber quarters, 11 large cents, 2 Washington quarters, and a New Jersey copper.
39 certified & 6 raw coins.
Sold 14 raw coins and just one graded one, an 1804 large cent.

Exactly! For a generic box that holds PCGS, ANACS (older and newer slabs), NGC, VSS and ICG slabs.

hfjacinto

I can't incriminate myself, so I'll admit to not buying any, I got all of them in change.

coinnut

I bought a total of 48 coins. 12 gold, 8 copper and 28 silver. All from GreatCollections.

WillieBoyd2

Bought a few items this year.
The last was this Ottoman Empire (Turkey) "silver dollar" in November 2022:

Turkey 20 Kurush 1877 (AH 1293-2)
Silver, 37.0 mm, 23.50 gm, Constantinople Mint, Sultan Abdul Hamid II

LanceNewmanOCC

this looks about right.

Every year I do a review of my coin purchases and additions to see if any goals were met and remind myself of perhaps some additions I already forgot about. To me it was a slow year and from the start I knew I would be either upgrading existing coins, flipping what I could cherry pick and put that money towards my collection and pick up a few lesser known varieties for the fun of it. I also focused on trying to keep my three # 1 proof sets alive which I was able to do until this fall but 2 are already passed up so my assumption is my last # 1 registry set should perish very soon in 2023.

I probably made more money this year selling Lincoln cents than any previous year thanks to both the strong market and Great Collections. Any coin I upgraded, plus numerous cherry picks made me over $4,100 and I spent $5,500 during the year. I would have sold more but the slow grading times prevented me from bringing additional coins to market at the end of this year. Of all the coins purchased this year (55) I sold 27. I still have 8 sitting at PCGS now that will be sold but I do not expect to get them back till March.

I don't know how many coins I bought in 2022, will need to check my records. Pretty sure it's less than 5-7 coins

ChangeInHistory

10 -12 coins, 4-5 seated halves, 2-3 seated dimes, and a few Franklin's.

Likewise though I did end the year with acquiring a four figure coin that I had been looking for to meet a need.

@1northcoin ... That coin sounds interesting... Follow up with pictures when you can. Cheers, RickO

I have bought 4 TPG unique coins so far this year in 2023.

It may be hard to keep up, this pace

0, although I look almost everyday.
