99 44/100% ... all but the clad coins in the Dansco 7070 type set

Baley · November 9, 2005 1:34AM

All the ones I spent more than face value to obtain are older than me.
Most of them are over 100 years old, and my favorite ones are 190+ years old.

BlindedByEgo · November 9, 2005 3:03AM

Virtually all. I think that I have some MC gold and one ms70 silver eagle, came with a small hoard I bought.

DarkStar · November 9, 2005 3:12AM

Let's see. I have 14 coins in my current collection, 5 coins which survived from my first collection, and 64 state quarters. So that makes 23%. And when I find a WV quarter it will still be 23%...

I would say about 80%. I born in 1984 so it's pretty easy to get coins older than me

Barberman55 · November 9, 2005 4:52AM

Only one coin in my collection is the same age as me, my 1955 DD cent, the rest of my coins are older. So I would have to say nearly 100% for my answer.

dunerlaw · November 9, 2005 5:04AM

98-99%

mozin · November 9, 2005 5:06AM

I am retired so at first thought I was going to say 99%, remembering my BTW and WC Commems. When I checked, I found I had completely forgotten about my foreign gold. Only 91% of my collection is older than I, but then, the foreign gold is not really rare anyway so maybe it should not be counted.

cladking · November 9, 2005 8:48AM

Less than .1%, and all of them are darkside. I've got old tokens and medals, though.

I've collected old US coins in the past and probably will in the future but none in the present.
