It will be interesting to how many you end up with Rob. I know I was up to 214 countries then they did a recheck on their site and I went down to 207.
My problem is I don't have them all photograph, working on it but that's a lot of pics.

On my database I have 224 different countries, although I'm sometimes inconsistent about what counts as a country. I am only part of the way through listing my collection on Numista, which so far says I have coins from 152 countries Looking good!  Quote:

According to my database I have 273 unique issuers. @wheatiefan is that your info or is that from Numista? I have my own database but pull most of the information from Numista API. I didn't know until just now that they differentiated between 'countries' and 'issuers'. All of mine are issuers, so Belize and British Honduras for example count as two. |

It's amazing how the one hobby of "coin collecting" has such a wide variety of interests. The Numista maps really help to bring that out. I haven't checked my Numista map for a long time. Most of my ancients / Medievals aren't on there as those areas don't handle varieties very well. On the map the Papal States is probably quite red-ish too - but so small as to be tricky to see. I keep a better record of what I have accrued on my website for those areas. The 1 swap is an error!   Edited by Bacchus2

I agree - that is a lot, are most of them from India?

I would guesstimate 98% US - 1.9% Canadian - .01% everywhere else combined - (A small peanut can full of miscelaneous world coins).

I can provide a comprehensive list, but need advice on how to share it. It would be a lengthy Microsoft WORD document, or changed to email text or PDF file. It can be found online at EveryCountryCollectorGroup. Download the checklist, edit to delete everything above and below and there you have it. The list is 30 pages, so edit out unwanted lines.
