Size of Collection

WestChi · January 27, 2011 12:48PM

I was just wondering rough size estimates of people's collections. I'm new to these boards and just starting my collection. I don't want to start a size vs. quality arguement.

Mine first:

PCGS: 350ish mostly PR69DCAM some 70s nothing too fancy, just completing sets.

NGC: 1

raw: 10ish

It depends on what you collect... that will determine the size of your collection.

Probably not going to get a lot of response, since this is a public forum and most won't want to disclose the size/value of their
collections. JMHO Shag

enough coins to make the wife think I am crazy but not enough to make her leave me (at least not yet)

Most of the value of my collection is concentrated in one 20 coin box. I also have two partially filled boxes of common silver dollars (one with Morgans and the other a Peace dollar set in progress) and an assortment of type coins in the other. I also have about 11 years worth of modern proofs and a few folders with my childhood penny and nickel sets, still in progress. (One of these days, I'm going to find that 1909s-VDB in pocket change...)

Bigger than I planned, and probably smaller than it's going to wind up.

Oh, and WELCOME!!

I own 364 PCGS slabs: All Lincolns! Figure will increase.

100 rolls of the Statehood quarters: P&D of every state.

Welcome!

PCGS = 62

NGC = 0

61 are Liberty $2.50's and 1 is a Lincoln cent.

JCMhouston · January 31, 2011 4:44AM

I have about 220 coins total, 8 of them currently waiting to get slabbed, the balance about 80% NGC/20% PCGS.

DIMEMAN · January 31, 2011 3:08PM

400+.....all PCGS or waiting to cross!!

I noticed a new drywall crack

LindeDad · February 1, 2011 1:10AM

About half the size it was two years ago but still over 600 PCGS coins and way too many rolls and Mint / Proof sets.

docg · February 1, 2011 6:31AM

More than I wish I had to store. Not enough of the high grade ones I want.

giorgio11 · February 2, 2011 2:10AM

Way too many Kennedy halves and way too few 1822 half eagles.

All PCGS except one 1964-D NGC MS65 Prooflike pedigreed to Ken Bressett on the day Kennedy halves debuted.

Stooge · February 16, 2011 4:31AM

I currently own "Zero" coins in PCGS slabs, or any slabs!

And I'm happy with that.

I feel sorry for you.

What I failed to mention is that I have well over 600+ PSA graded baseball cards!

Later, Paul.

well, in my two, core sets so far, about 85 coins...

other certified coins of various denominations and dates, can't count them off the top of my head, that's why I keep notes, somewhere...

modern crap, about 24 certified pieces..., not counting silver proof sets, finally got rid of all my mint sets and proof sets, Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!

other oddball stuff in 2x2s, about ..., oohhhh about..., sheesh, forget it!

mcarney1173 · February 24, 2011 7:01AM

I just sold it all to start fresh, I began to get concerned about quality and realized I had just been hoarding little $30-80 dollar coins, so I sold almost everything and now own two really, really nice coins and I'm going to focus more on quality than quantity from here on out.

renomedphys · March 2, 2011 2:54AM

My PCGS inventory says 59 coins, but only 25 of them are what I would consider "part of my collection". The rest are modern PR69s and 70s, and a few that I have cracked for Dansco sets, nothing important. Lately, I've been selling anything that I don't consider worthy, and have been focusing on "finest of the type" quality. Tough to find = small collection.

drei3ree · March 2, 2011 9:28AM

I've narrowed it to a box of 52...and a bunch that won't fit in the box.

DarkStar · March 4, 2011 4:57AM

Sixteen coins plus one complete set of circ Franklins (!)
