In 2020 I purchased 6 U.S. coins including 3 gold coins, 2 National Bank notes from my home state and 3 numismatic books. That is less than in 2019. How many items did you purchase?

Lol. I am known here to NOT be the high spender type on coins (once in a great while) . However, I am known to purchase many, many small priced coins, including silver. Also, I do frequently buy some coin related items too. So by you asking "how many" items? Too, too many to count. Lol. If I was to place an actual number on it. I would guess approximately, 100 - 200 numismatic items. To me, quantity is more enjoyable than only a few items at a high price. Just my opinion. Thanks.

exactly 32 PCGS-certified coins
plus a few bags of AI dollars and a reverse proof
plus a gifted MEGA Red Book
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
18 certified coins, around 15 raw coins, and 2020 Red Book.
Too many! 🤬
Not enough. Like joeykoins I don't play in the deep end, but play alot in the shallow end. Best guess, 200 to 250 PCGS slabbed, as well as Mint, Proof & Silver Proof sets to keep my Danscos up to date.
Enough to say enough.

I kinda figured that there would be a poll. Probably around a dozen.

OH MY !!!!!
Not sure but I know firearm related items outpaced numismatic items.
Not for any real reason..just those two hobbies just go in cycles.

I bet divested coins but increases the value of my collection
Latin American Collection
Bought 12, 6 tokens, 6 older gold
Sold 12 , 9 tokens, 3 gold
Sold a bunch of silver bullion
And ...oops almost forgot, bought 1 Daniel carr item
No earthly idea when you factor in the raw stuff. I’ll guess around 150 total coins raw and slabbed. I’ve also sold about $200 or more face of silver.
Five US coins, exactly $4.00 face value.

Too many, but not enough...
Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value. Zero. Voltaire. Ebay coinbowlllc
Bought around 26 or 27 Carson City Morgans, some miscellaneous Morgans, various US Mint (v75 ASE) and Royal Mint releases (End of Second World War, Elton John) and a hunk of Germania Mint Fafnir Dragon rounds.

A few. My Liberty Nickel set went from a GPA of 64.963 to 65.400 during the year.
My records show I purchased 44 total; however, 35 of them were Barber quarters.

Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Damned if I know!
Bought 3 coins and sold one.
I am pretty sure I purchased four coins this year.... Two books.... Much like @1630Boston, firearms and accessories outweighed coins this past year. Cheers, RickO
I purchased many coins this year but I think about 7-10 were for my collection, rest to sell.

A check of my records indicate that I made 54 coin related purchases in 2020.
A large portion of my acquisitions were "junk" silver and common date silver dollars (both certified and raw).
under 50 but all PCGS certified

For the first time in years, 0. I must be the only one on this board with no purchases.
14 pieces. 3 currency notes and 11 coins.
Just 3 things pretty much. All modern. A Canadian twoonie commemorating artist Bill Reid, one in a set that's a bit higher quality, and a roll for spending once I'm allowed to visit home again (whenever that is). A French V-Shaped coin commemorating the end of WWII that I thought was kind of neat. And the new arrival that came last week, the David Bowie coin, part of the Royal Mint's music legends program.

Was able to buy 14 items but started only in August.
Seven gold coins. I focused more on selling my modern clad to help fund the conversion.
Currently have 22 moderns being graded that will hopefully convert to some more.
I bought 30 coins this year. All in PCGS holders. Most are Liberty Seated quarters.
Not a whole lot....just my SLQ 1925 FH CAC and my latest 1873 Seated Liberty Dollar in 62.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

I finally completed my 12-Piece Gold Set. I added the Type II $1 in 2019, and in 2020 I added the elusive $3 gold piece. Here is the PCGS Registry set album (the $2.5s are graded by NGC):

many...
Not as many as I would have liked.
I buy mostly at coin shows anymore. For expensive coins I like to see them in hand so I can avoid being disappointed.
This year I probably acquired 2 dozen numismatic items; all inexpensive U.S., World and silver bullion.
