You should also add a <5% category.

That's a moving target for me.
I have a comfort level that's hard to pass on any one coin, but over the years I've been adding so the % is less all the time.

Last year my answer would have been between 10-20. Now it's slightly over 5%.

Had to put over 50% right now because I only have one coin, so really it’s 100% of my value is in my most expensive coin.

My best coin represents slightly less that 2% of the value of my entire collection, but I have six coins of that type that are almost the same. All housed in PCGS slabs, to give me reassurance about authenticity.

Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.0 -

I am right around 5% but that percentage will soon drop to well under 5%.

Boosibri, great question. Have to think about it. That said; I think you are a natural born gambler. Good for you! That's where the money is. Or isn't. You'll do o.k.

Hard to say.... just a guess... I have several in an upper price range (not million$)....so picking one, well - probably a good guess. Cheers, RickO

In the poll I'm referring to something other than coins. For the coins, probably 5 to 10% (more quantity there)

10-20% and getting smaller every year because my collection keeps growing -- it seems uncontrollably!
I'm addicted to exonumia ... it is numismatic crack!
