How many items is a "large" coin web store?

Just wondering if anyone here knows of any coin web stores that are huge - and what kind of item count does it take to be "huge" on the web? 2,000? Maybe 10,000? I'd be interested in hearing especially from those who have or help run web stores for coins. How many items on average are in those web stores?

David Lawrence's site is considered pretty big, and at a glance they look to have between 3,000-4,000 coins.

Steve Estes has around 1000 coins on his site, i would consider that pretty large. DLRC is huge.

Great....thanks guys. That's a good measure to go by. Considering I'm going to be doing primarily Lincoln cents and within that primarily Lincoln cent die varieties (DDOs, DDRs, and RPMs), I would think having 2,500 items in my web store would qualify it as the largest of its type on the internet. I wanted to have a pretty good idea that I could 'officially' call it the largest of its kind.

Probably 1,000 of the items in the opening inventory will be Lincoln cent die varieties, then another 200-300 items will be higher grade slabbed Lincolns. The remainder will be collector grade Lincolns back to 1909, rolls, and a fixed list for circ coins of all dates and grades.

I expect to open the store around the first of October. Once it's open I intend on building the inventory to over 5,000 items.

Thanks again for the responses.
