How many coins (raw of slabbed) do you have in your collection (or accumulation)?

SanctionII

Just curious.

As for me, I am a hybrid collector/accumulator. In my collection/accumulation I have probably between 1,000 and 3,000 coins, most of which are moderns pulled from circulation since 1963. Maybe one day I will spend the chaff and have nothing but the wheat left over.

Unless they are valuable you may want to invest in a good gum ball machine and use them for that. However, the slabbed ones will probably not fit. Then there is always that trick you see in cowboy movies where they throw a coin in the air, pull out a gun and shoot the coin while it's still in the air. Now wishing wells are a great place to get rid of excess coins but again those darn slabbs don't sink well.
In reality slow down a bit. There was a guy around here not long ago that collected little cars. You know the hot wheel things. When he went to move he had to pay extra because he had 3,000 pounds of those little things.
How many pounds of coins do you have? I should talk. I just start a new album every time one fills up.

A spreadsheet of my core collection -- basically those items of sufficient gravity to bother keeping records on -- shows 159 items.

There are hundreds more trivial things -- state quarters, BU Jeffersons, things like that.

Windycity

Thousands! But like about 400 slabbed coins.

BECOKA

Not too many raw except for the ones just cracked from ANACS going to PCGS. I have narrowed my focus to about 150 coins and still have a ways to go. Still waiting for a lottery win to get a few of the missing ones.

mgoodm3

Maybe 50 now that I sold off a bunch of stuff.

Colorfulcoins

Perhaps 200 slabbed and 50 unslabbed. Its been about the same, plus or minus, for the last 5 years. The caliber and focus have changed by the qty stays about the same.......

OKbustchaser

Around 600...all raw.











































































And several comemoratives which many people around here insist on calling coins even though they obviously aren't. They are still slabbed as I don't feel competent to properly grade them.

mojoman

Not enough! (Raw around 500-600) slabbed 60+

Yes I am still accumulating coins.

Current guess is about 5499 under my roof. Only two slabbed
Cent in 1954-S in MS66RD
Nickel 1976 PR69DCAM

Why? Psychological reasons I guess I like finding nice coins and pulling them from circulation. I've only gone through 85,819 of them so it's not like I'm keeping them all.

Good night

BlindedByEgo

Including 90% Silver, a couple.

Maybe a little more.

Agflyer

I have several hundred coins, though I'm actively thinning the heard. My goal is for quality over quantity. I sold around 10 coins and turned around and bought my 1955 doubled die Lincoln. I don't even miss the 10. . .

My entire "collection," raw and slabbed, is less than 150 coins - nearly 100 of which will soon be on the chopping block.

rmoss

Around 120 slabbed. I am now 57 years old and have dabbled with coins since I was 10 years old or so. Your guess is as good as mine on raw coins I have. My best guess is a lot.

Dismeguy

About 1500 seated dimes with 400 or more slabbed. It takes this many dimes to build a variety reference collection.

That was just your last PCGS order, right???

Coinfused

I only have about 55.....but I just started collecting a year ago.

DarkStar

Fourteen. Plus my set of state quarrters I'm building from circulation.

orie

A few over a hundred slabbed. Every few months cull the ones that don't fit. Raw coins are waiting for me to accumulate 10 to submit. Of course, I have an album for the state quarters.

morganbarber

I have about 20 slabs, about 400 coins in albums, and hoarded, including wheaties and common S mints, many thousands.

Burks

Raw:
US - About 200
World - About 500

Slabbed:
US - 7
World - 0

Conder101

Not including bulk material, between 10 and 12 thousand. None of them slabbed. (Then I have the slab reference set with about 400 different slab types.) Right now I'm working on getting the typed into the computer and out of the index cards I've been using since 1972. Two decks of cards about 10 to 12 inches thick with an average of 8 coins per card. Once they are all in, I'll try and get a more accurate count.

MORGANHUNTER2

I have none

All mine are on hold until the market crashes-

and then I will have many- that will be used for trade.

Baley

my primary collection is about 150 type coins, most in albums with maybe 25 slabbed

other raw coins, including bullion and foreign coins? thousands

AgMe

The "permanent collection" is a matched, high-grade (classics & ultra-modern) slabbed material... I actually don't know how many I have, because I don't feel comfortable handling them... I work on a set, complete it and never look at them again...

The silver/gold hoard: Raw, no idea, it's just in piles all over.

The "fun" collection: thousands and thousands raw.

God help me... I'm now getting into currency!
