My largest is 79 x 2006 Lincoln Cent, but that is only because someone sent me a heap back in 2006. Other than that, I have managed to pull 52 x Bradman 20 cents from circulation. Steve  |

When you say one particular coin - you mean like a 1972 5c, or a 2011 20c. If you do, then I am outclassed by the people with over 1000 of a single coin type!

Not a coin, but a year. My wife's collection of birthyear 1954. Over 100 now, and with the magnificiant Royal visit florin & medal & others from trout1105, opened the door to actively include silver.
BTW, dont let the cost & time it takes to arrive to shun trades & other deals with the guys/gals down under. It's always been worth the wait.

I'm in the majority by the looks of things, just glad you didn't ask about notes.  |

I have a small herd/mob of horses LOL Centenary Florins,i did have 25 of them at one stage but sold some to the knackery LOL & only have 10 now.
I have multiples of many coins in my collection mainly because I see a better grade coin than the one/s I have so I buy it with the intention of selling the lower grade coin/s but it just hardly ever seems to happen.
One off errors are a very prized part of my collection though.

I need a long term rehab right after detox I suppose. DUPLICATES  If you said series, you can guess what I have a couple thousand of but within that series I certainly have 20 or more of some that are duplicates of the same date and mint mark aside from my main Jefferson set. So I could cast a poll vote a couple different ways. I did post a vote for 11 to 25 but I have duplicate BU solid date rolls of stuff too. It has been however, at least 3 months since my last nickel! I could relapse at any time! |

I don't keep duplicates, of anything. If I happen to buy a duplicate (usually because I've forgotten I already had one) and the duplicate is higher grade than the one I have, I swap it out and get rid of the old one. I have a boxful of duplicates sitting around here someplace, but they're just waiting to be gotten rid of; they definitely don't "count" as part of the collection.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

I think I have over 1000 2010 50c now, but I will be returning most of them to the wild at some time (promise!).
I have put them aside while they are still in good condition and will be looking for any unusual ones.

The poll is very limiting; over 1000 as the top is for newbies.
Some of us have over 10,000 coins from a single year and denomination. My drug of choice is the 1920 penny (over 70 different obverse dies from 5 different derivative hubs means I can keep my searching addiction going for years).

The 1988 $1 Bicentennial got about 22 got all from circulation mostly from the pokies. I just love the design of it keep on trying to get mint rolls but always get outbid on the last second on ebay. Also about 3 years ago I have stopped spending every 5c I got now I have over $250 worth. Went through it last month and found 6 1972 5c coins. Also I have started collecting UNC mint rolls/bags from every year. |

I prefer pre-decimal coins (huge fan of the shilling!), but certainly have large numbers of particular coins from the decimal era. Most bulkedly: 50 x Full Circlation 5c Piece Sets (1966-2010, minus 85/86) in pages. - figure these might be worth $50+ some day. I have full uncirculated and proof sets hidden away which won't be sold. The circulation sets were put together as a kill-time kind of activity more than anything. 35ish x 2010 PNC Taxation 20c (Figured these being first numbered PNC issues that it would be worthwhile stockpiling, majority of these are consecutive). - Issue price was $20, I think average spend for each of these including postage was $23.50 - first published book price is $40 and scare on ebay now. Wanted to end up with 150 of them - that is, 1% of total produced, but I don't really care to do that now. 100 x 20/50/$1 sets from 2005. I purchased 5x rolls of each in 2005, and put them all in 2x2. I will be selling a large number of these off soon, go figure mintage would be ridiculous. I wish I had kept them in rolls, was a new-to-coin-collecting error. I'd look at book price of rolls vs individual coins and I wanted to up my $$ value of collection. |

Most is probably 2 rolls of one coin (40-50+). That's all I really need of one particular coin. :)
...and may I add that some of your have real problems, ha!

I am guilty also I realise. I don't take 5cs back to the bank. Reason being is that I think that I will be able to look at them in closer detail later down the track. I must have about 2000 of them. Will have a look later...
