Disturbing thought

Cladiator

I just realized that my entire collection amounts to only $7.42 at face value. Man, what a downer to think of it in those terms. Thousands of dollars I've spent for enough money to get lunch at McDonalds.

Man

Well barring a complete goverment overthrow by the open forum members you will never get lower then face value.

Just worked out the precious metal value. At currently prices, my collection is worth just a tad over $50 intrinsicly.

ER

I'll give you a brand new $20 bill for your collection.

this hobby can be disturbing if one stops and thinks too long

...I think most of us are in the same "boat".

<------------ Has $7.42 worth of Happy Meal™ Coupons he will trade for Cladiator's collection, and a sign that says: "will work for food", if interested

Only $7.42 face value??? Wow, you've got a pretty selective collection! Would you be willing to give us the details on what's in the collection?

I'm afraid to add mine up after reading this

coinnut86

I think I'm going to add up mine and see. It might take me awhile, not because I have a big collection (I dont) but because I'm lazy

500Bay

$3.74. That is scary
Also a few Roman coins, but I guess they are no longer legal tender...

I guess I'd better start collecting something other than cents.

I'll buy all of your collections at face. PM me immediately

10:18 pm: what, no PM's yet?

Heeheehee

My collection is worth $59.61 face... I forgot I have a book I keep up to date of the coins in my collection so I guess it didnt take as long as I thought

The face value of mine wouldn't even make my house payment.

DJC

$8.05, and a few marks and pounds, and 2 shillings Australian.

That is depressing, isn't it?

MrHalfDime

$86.60, and that's all in half dimes, at 5 cents each. Kind of depressing after 25 years of collecting. I'd better make a note to my heirs - do not sell at face value.

At least you can super size it.

My mess is worth a few thousand because I've got a bad habit of collecting rolls of uncirc coins, proof sets, uncirc sets, jars of useless stuff, rolls of useless stuff, very heavy box of foreign stuff that I don't even know what country most are from, duplicate sets of just about everything. What really worries me is the amount of times I hear of an estate sale where someone sells the whole mess for face value or the family that inherits such a pile of stuff and takes it to a bank where it goes through a coin counter.

Mine would probably come in around $80 face, but a big chunk is 2 double eagle, 2 eagles, 2 quarter eagles. my core collection of cents is less than $1.
