What does it take to have a hoard??

Is it number of coins or percent of a particular issue??
Before I die I'd like to have my name attached to a numismatic hoard of some kind.

I think you can still get some LP1/LP2/LP3/LP4 boxes fairly cheap!
The name is LEE!

Wouldn't that be more properly called a treasure trove?

.....one more wheat cent than I currently have!......
......I collect old stuff......
" Collection " rather than a hoard. Collections are cooler like, Bass Collection,
Richmond Collection, McClaren Collection I & II, Great Falls Collection and one of
my favorites The Battle Creek Collection. See cool names not like the Olathe Dollar
Hoard From U.S. Treasury Bags or Windy City Monster Box Hoard. Another of my favs
I all most forgot, STP Legacy Collection and Patriot Collection. Go for "The" collection,
it will be easy.

Yes.
At least 5,000 coins or 25% of a particular issue.
And if it's a large number of coins, those coins should not be otherwise special...i.e., average, common date, nothing special.
There ya go.

The Olathe hoard was 25 BU bags of Dollars. If I am not mistaken, McClaren had closer to 20. Unlike some hoards that the seller holds back significant portions like McClaren, the whole hoard was placed with one distributor before being sold.

Sure, if you owned 3 or more of them then you would have a hoard.

well, someone did say "25% of a particular issue" above. so yeah...i would think so, using that logic and that issue. the langboard hoard. the langhoard.
Edit to add: My library is also sort of hoardish. Who needs 3 sets of Numismatic Scrapbook, anyway?
