3 silver dollars
5 gold coins ($5, $10, $20)
2 rolls of 2020 Kennedy half dollar (P & D)
1 forty years old proof set for display
Lost a few coins in Great Collections by less than $100 margin. Spent a lot more time than last year browsing through auctions and fixed price lists.
Sold the extra reverse proof Buffalo gold coin in OGP to a local coin shop before Covid lockdown and a box of low priced silver coins/sets to a member here during lockdown. Contracted a new type of disease called laziness

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.
And the way you collect, you shouldn't! Since you get great enjoyment examining coins you get at face value under your microscope, there is little value in buying $1000 coins.
I have purchased about fifty, mostly bullion Buffs, $5 commems, and spouse golds. I had thought the higher bullion prices would shake lots of these out, but there seems to be a lot fewer for sale, and a few are really hard to locate.
Exonumia and Daniel Carr pieces are "numismatic items" for the purposes of this thread, right?
This isn't fair considering that I've only been a member since about August and ALL of my acquisitions have been post membership date. Members in my signature line will probably rat me out, but I think that I may be in the lead, discounting all the roll hunters.
Seriously, I will need to sit down and do a tally, something I have specifically avoided - but I should face the music.

More than usual due to Covid.
Let's see... um...

13 coins, all slabbed (that was a first for a calendar year) and Mega Red 4.
Also went cheap on a loupe. Probably upgrade that in 2021 or 2022.
a whole bunch
Really nice 1955 double die, 2 sides of a coin.
365

OMG, you're going to make me actually COUNT?
