There are about 4000 US 90% silver coins in my junk silver stack. This includes about 300 1964 Washington quarters.

In the symlink folder on the PC, there are currently 6333 symbolic links to coin pics, so there are perhaps 1500 coins worthy of being photographed in the collection. (All coins have at two pics, but some have quite a few more.)

I'd guess the silver stack weighs about 40-60 pounds, and the other 1500 (which includes the gold stack) weight a lot less. You could fit all the coins more than 1000 years old in the palm of one hand.

@TaeKenDo... ouch. Good luck on the collection rebuild.

Without some serious thought I'm not sure I could come up with an accurate estimate. If it's just "every coin in my house that's not in the change-going-back-to-the-bank jar", then it's many thousand (maybe 10k+).

Those in albums and flips and tubes and OGP and such... a few thousand.

Then there are the jars of copper cents, Statehood/ATB quarters, Wheats, Presidential dollars, Sacs, Ikes, and pre-60 nickels.

As others have said...too many to count (but fun to think about).

The collection, where my passions, interests, efforts, and pride goes is 150-200. The hoard of ancillary stuff that comes with being in this hobby is probably 3-5000 more I suppose.

I am almost to 100 coins for my collection of the '82s, currently covering 10 different centuries

Relatively few, it seems.

I possess several hundred coins of various kinds but only a few dozen of them are of any interest to me. Gold and silver obviously and my complete collection of decimal pennies (1971-present)

I'm waiting for PM's to rise before I sell the bulk of my collection. I need to downsize a bit.

Of the coins I care about, 500-1000. No idea of the total, though...

I have around 1000 altogether. I received 443 in a foreign coin lot yesterday, but I'm keeping a select few. I plan on selling the rest. I have a wide variety, mainly older coins, U.S. and foreign, the oldest being 1811 and the newest being 2016 (that one came in the lot. It's from India).

I only have one euro piece. I mainly have discontinued coins from over 100 countries, several that no longer exist. My favorites are the ones that have animals, unique plants, and holes. I also am fond of the royal British family.

I keep track of all of them on Coin Album. It's on the play store. As far as coin apps go, it's definitely the best.
