How much does your collection weigh?

MrEureka · July 19, 2009 12:02AM

Including holders and packaging.

I figure my collection weighs less than two pounds.

42.

At the moment, It weighs probably the better part of 2000lbs now. Lots of rolls.

This is one of the silliest threads I've ever seen on this forum.

I've never heard of anyone collecting coins by weight.

A lot, about 150 bags of circulated wheats, bu wheat rolls, mint sealed lincoln memorial bags, rolls of memorials and then the raw and slabbed silver. The box of 20 is a paltry 3.2 pounds.

My collection weighs quite a bit and nothing. Being a dealer I consider everything in inventory part of "my" collection. It might weigh several tons and it may drop to a 1000 pounds or so. But its not technically a collection since its all looking for a home.
I think of it as a coin "rescue". I "rescue" coins that other dealers have undergraded (unappreciated) or misattributed or just need to get rid of. Other coins I buy since they may have very few other homes like Ike dollars in bulk. Of course the unwanted mutts (like proof sets) the general public brings in doesnt help. Room is becoming short and soon some may be put on the cold streets to fend for themselves.

Think I could get Sally struthers to do a save the coins ad?

Not sure, for some reason I don't usually count my half empty Dansco albums which would be most of the weight.

You never heard of people collecting Krugerands, Kookaburras, ASEs, AGEs, etc., etc., etc.?

Is that really coin collecting or is it more like bullion collecting.
