How Many?

I buy and sell often. I really have no idea! Mike

I know that many would not consider what I have a "collection" but it is still in its infancy. I started collecting Bust Halves in 2005 and so far have 2 of them. This is my actual collection. Two may not seem like much, but I love both of them and plan to add a few more this year. I planned on this being a slow-growing collection. Since I sell, I would hurt myself too much if I tried to collect multiple series. I'd collect all my profits!

I had a collection of between 500-1000 coins but sold that collection in order to get our business started.

I haven't added everything up in detail, but my hoard probably contains roughly 30,000; perhaps a little more. I'm sure I will top the 50,000 mark eventually.

Of course, most of these coins are dirt-cheap ones, such as bulk wheat cents and older Jefferson nickels, but there are some nice, valuable ones too.

Here in the UK I must have almost 2000 but counting the Spanish ones that I keep at mum's in Barcelona is well over this figure.

Though it kind of depends if you hoard or collect.

I use to own thousands but not many of any great value.

I have recently gone through a large down size in the collection. Now only focusing on my areas of great interest.

thought this was a good poll and since we have had alot of new members thought I would bring it back to the top

Scoutjim...50,000? My god, I would have a heart attack!!!! LOL
