Approximately 13,284 = 41*3*(98 + 5*2) .
Estimated by looking at the document which has 98 pages of US numbers,
usually 41 rows x 3 columns per page. And the first 5 pages are copper coins which
have additional numbers for Red and Red Brown.
The true count is probably higher - there are numbers for varieties that don't seem to
be listed in this document (and for rare dates like the 1870-s half dime), plus there are
more pages with copper coins like in the Proof section.
So it might be closer to 14,000 or 15,000?

Browsing the document, you can see the numbers start at 1000 with the 1793 half cent,
and stayed mostly as 4 digits (with some gaps) until the 2001 state quarters.
Since 2005 they have usually been 6 digits.
Colonials are sometimes under 4 digits, but usually 5 or more digits.
Will you be working on a box of 13,284?
Wow!
Probably not but thanks for the detailed info and the link
